         The idea for this project came from a summer trip Ms. Hesse took to Cape Cod. While there she visited Plimoth Plantation.which is an outdoor re-creation of both the early colonists' settlement of Plymouth and a typical Wampanoag village.  In September parents attended a meeting to discuss what would become a huge project.  Parents divided into a Colonists group and a Wampanoag group.  Planning began.  Preparing them for their eventual roles in the villages, students delved into the history.  Play parts and monologues, taken from primary sources, were handed out.  Costumes were made, dwellings constructed, props gathered, and attention given to even the smallest of details.  Mother Nature did her part, giving us two days of perfect November weather.  In one word, everything was "spectacular!"

    Using an English accent, Colonists performed "At Anchor," "Encounter in the Forest," and "First Winter."  Visitors to the settlement learned from each Colonists as they watch them do their daily chores.  Across the pond and in the woods at the Wampanoag settlement, visitors watched performances of "Wihio's Duck Dance" and "The Cannibal Monster."  They then walked around the village learning about the Wampanoag way of life.
