1. Life of Children
By Arzu

2. A Child's Day Young children helped their mom with some chores
Most children did not go to school to learn education
At, that time the colony has been settled for like 20 years
Sometime kids were not allowed to sit at a table
Instead they stood behind the adults who passed food back to them

3. What Kind of Chores did they do?
The children did chores like gathering sticks to be used to start fires or feathers to be used to make beds and pillows
Children as young as four were taught to knit and make stockings
Boys would go to work with their fathers, and daughters were given more household chores

4. What Kind of clothing did they wear?
Babies wore dresses in neutral gowns with a long skirt and long sleeves
Parents used a ¨Biggins¨ to keep a baby's head warm
A biggins was a type of hat made of linen or wool and tied under chin

5. Did Children Go to School
In many areas there wasn't public school
So a lot of farm children did not get and formal education
Boys often learned how to read and write from their father or the local minister
Girls were often not taught to read and write at all
In some places the children did go to school
