Class Kickball Game. What a Great Day! Fierce Competition!

Mr. Laity's Colony Plays. The students had to make their own costumes and come up with a short skit to perform in front of the class. The plays were focused on important Colonial events. The events included, The Mayflower, The Carolina's Dividing, The 1621 Peace Treaty, The Three Sisters, Jamestown and The Lost Colony of Roanoke. The kids did a great job and had fun reviewing these events.
