Weekly Letter

1/09/2009
Dear Parents,


Did you know the snow is melting fast. We are measuring the snow melt by setting up a photo point. Photo points are one of the many interesting things we did this week. First of all today many of us completed painting our colonial maps. Some of us even finished labeling them. The map shows the land forms that are found in our colony. The maps are made out of dough made from flour and salt. You mix the flour and salt together with water and it makes dough that dries hard after a few days. We also have been working on our colonial letter. We had to research the location, climate, hardships, and jobs found in our colony. Then we are writing a letter to convince someone in England to come and live in our colony. Many of us are typing the letter on the computer and a few of us have already placed the letter on our blog. Now you know we have set up a photo point, made a dough map, and wrote a colonial letter. Wow what a lot of work.


Sincerely,


Your Colonial Timer

Our blog has some great pictures of our work.
