“In our Entrepreneurship class all year we have been learning the basics of business and all about different colonial occupations. They also have been well versed in money math, economics, and that with hard work you take something small like a sunflower seed and turn it into something profitable and beautiful. Students will be creating their own businesses, in the form of a booth, displaying their talents and some of their favorite colonial skills they have learned throughout the year.”

Colonial Faire: Our elementary students will be performing a historical dance at the fair. Please work on a historical costume for your student to wear in their booth as well as the dance. Any character or costume from Pilgrims to Civil War will be appropriate.

Jr High are representing Colonial Era historical characters, so help them research the life, occupation, and costume of their character. Theatrics will be the talk of the day!

A best historical costume contest prize will be awarded for each boy and girl on each day and grade. Costume must be mostly constructed by the student and not store bought.

is planning to perform the epic story, The Bullet Proof George Washington at the Fair.

We are putting together an almanac in the style of Ben Franklin's Poor Richard's Almanac: with sayings, jokes, riddles. This will be printed and sold- the proceeds will go towards prizes for class competitions. Selected readings will be presented by student volunteers.

Your student has been learning watercolor techniques while hearing about national parks and monuments across the United States of America. Many have been overjoyed to recognize landscapes from family travels and each student has been exposed to the beauty within our country.

We would love to show off your student’s work at the Colonial Faire! Bring a completed painting framed with your student’s name, age, and title on the back of the frame for easy reference. If they are interested in selling their work, be sure to add a price- any artwork without a price will be considered decor only.”

We will set up by our classroom door.

For our Kinder specific Activity, we will be hosting a donut eating contest!

With the help of a generous donor and skilled craftsman, we will construct a scaffold-like set up where we will dangle donuts for the kids to eat! YUM!

Our students will be able to decorate the donut stand during class and have a fun time preparing for their Faire booth!

We understand there are some allergies so if your child or their siblings have any allergies, we should be aware of, please send me an email at alexissorrell@terrarts.org so we can offer alternatives!

Please be on the lookout for another newsletter identifying the types of donations we will be needing for this activity.

Our Jr. High and High School Doer Day students have been learning a variety of art skills and techniques, practicing in sculpture, oil paintings, watercolors and more. They are looking forward to presenting their art works in an art exhibition and sale at the Colonial Fair!
