To the Colonies and Beyond!

As mentioned earlier we traveled to the colonies last week. I've told you about our trip to the New England Colonies, now let me tell you about the Middle and Southern Colonies. In the Middle Colonies, our girls made butter for our delicious wheat bread. We also solved riddles and made up some of our own. Do you know which room is not in a house? Ask your students! Then on Thursday we traveled to the Southern Colonies and got to eat some rice, which was one of their main cash crops. We also made Freedom Quilt Squares. We had a lot of fun in the thirteen colonies, but the next day we were ready for an out-of-this-world experience!


On Friday, we had the opportunity to travel to the Romulan Neutral Zone (all from the safety of the Christa McAuliffe Space Center) and study the star Betelegeuse. We did run into some trouble along the way, but completed our mission with flying colors. In the end we were not sucked into the black hole and were saved by the Romulans because of our generosity. Way to go crew!!!
