Jacob grinding corn in the colonial kitchen at Colonial Days. The third graders also made candles, cut silhouettes, learned about quilts from the local quilting guild (and then watched them make quilts), made their own butter, practiced calligraphy (with actual quill pens), square danced at a Colonial tavern, and did tin pressing. I worked the corn grinding station, where I donned an apron and bonnet and tried to remember to go heavy on the "thees" and thous" while discussing the importance of corn in Colonial America.
