Colonial Days at Sts. Peter & Paul School

Above, students combine Art and Social Studies to learn about Colonial times

Nanci Barnhart, Arts Coordinator at Sts. Peter and Paul School in Lexington, sends this update:

Eighth grade students recently held a Colonial Day at SPPS where
they presented projects they had researched in Social Studies
and practiced in Art. This integrated project was shared with 4th
and 5th grade classes who also studied the colonies.

Trades that were represented included weaving, men’s and women’s clothing,
blacksmithing, candle making, a general store, baking, and stocks
(jailers), as well as examples of Native American beadwork. The projects were the result of a collaboration between Social Studies teacher Rachel Guadagni and Art teacher Beth
Ettensohn.
