Layout of a colonial houseBy Yonah P.

Colonial houses only had one room.

They did everything in that one room such as eat, sleep and relax.

Since there was limited amounts of furniture only parents slept in beds made from straw.

Colonial houses did not have closets or draws so colonists stored their clothing in a loft in the attic.

No Electricity!By: Ariel J.

During colonial times there was no electricity. That means there was no light, running water or heat!

For light they used candles, oil lamps or lanterns.

To get water colonists had to go to the well or lake and put the water in the yoke, which is like a huge jug.

For heat the colonists made a fire in a hearth, which was located in the the fire place,
