Colonial Trade

In social studies, we just did quick presentations about the different trades during the colonial times (1700's).  Which job would you do if you were a colonist?  What different things would affect your job?  What would be fair things to trade for your goods or services?  Write at least 7 sentences!  

If you need to refresh your memory quickly, here is the colonial trade website.

Snow, Snow, Snow!

We have had 9 Snow Days this year so far! Read this poem about snow, and tell what you think the main idea is in a post.  Remember, the main idea can almost seem like a title, and is the "big idea" of the poem.

"Making angels in the snow,
stretching out as we lie down.
Sweeping arms and sweeping legs,
making wings and gowns.
Making angels in the snow,
rising carefully as can be.
Leaving magic on the ground,
angel magic for all to see."
