Summer Program 2010

June 28 to July 1

A wonderful week in the Life of an Early American Child. We did chores including sweeping, laundry, cleaning candlesticks and emptying chamber pots. Made small painted floor clothes and felted a pin cushion. Aunt Fanny visited with her baby twin goats and taught us how to clean wool and use a drop spindle. We also made butter and baked gingerbread over the open fire. In our handmade copy books we wrote about our activities and used a quill pen. Great week
