This week 5th graders formed colonies and began a test of survival. Throughout the next months colonies will pack their ships for the new land, settle land, farm, hunt, gather, and lots more. Who will survive?
Ms. Veazey found an awesome website, Colonial House, that features colonial life. Check it out and make a comment on the activity you did. What did you learn? What is a connection you made?

I tried the Dress Me Up and I saw that the clothes they used to wear were boring.

I went to the site and played a bunch of games. I think that you can make a lot of discoveries because I made a lot. I think this is a great site for who needs improvement on history and colonies.

I learned that the west indies stimulated prosperity on the North American mainland where farmers produced lumber, fish, livestock, and grain to supply the sugar plantations. With the production of sugar, the West Indies overtook the Chesapeake as the most valuable set of English colonies.

I mean I learned that the clothes they used to wear were boring. I can't make a connection because my clothes aren't this boring.

I think those clothes are kind of bad because you are not going for a stpeicial dinner or anything you are just going to work so you are going to waste all of those fancy clohes to get'em all dirty. And I make a text-self becuase my grandma used to wear those wehn she was young

I noticed that their clothes were kind of a mixture of pilgrims, old day people's clothes to wear to balls, and a bit of men's clothes.

I think its cool that if they picked the wrong supplies to take with them they might die.I also played the dress me up game and found their clothes kind of awesome in one way but,I think only a colonist can rock that outfit.

I learned all about Amy Wyers, a 16 year old colonist who was very surprised at how much she enjoyed being away of modern-day technology. I think it would be a great experience to try this, Because I usually stay hours on technology, so it would be good to take a break and have fun with things that don't use energy.

I think that the wearing one was difficult because I needed to put like 6 things to put 1 thing. But still I really enjoy it
