1. Colonial Times

2. Very Long Ago Colonial times were very long ago. Colonial people were the first people from Europe to live in America. Europe is a far away country. (look at globe) The colonial times were in the years 1607- 1776. It is the year 2009 now. So it was over 300 years ago.

3. How did they live? When the first settled in America they didn’t know how to live in the wilderness. They lived in tents and had very little food to eat. They were very cold and hungry in the winter. Then they built houses made of wood and had fires to keep warm and cook food.

4. What did they wear? Their clothes were very different from what we wear today. Look at some of these pictures. Do you dress likes this?
