Welcome to the Colony of Hoponea!
Monday found us discovering ourselves in the Colony of Hoponea (Hoppin). This colony, like many others here on the continent of Three Riversward, belong to the great country of Kalamazania. All are ruled with justice and peace by his Lordship, King Kensington Charles III.
Upon entering the colony, students first chose a profession to become active members in the colony's success. There were many colonial jobs to choose from including a : cooper, miller, baker, blacksmith, farmer, doctor, minister, merchant, tavern owner, ship captain, silversmith, Candle maker, gunsmith, tanner, cloth maker, tailor, milliner, tobacco plantation owner, potter, post master, etc.
Students then made signs to advertise their product or service in the community.
As the day went on, we had a visitor to our colony - Lord Governor Froomlop paid us a visit to announce the proclamation of King Kensington III and distribute to us our hard earned wages (M&Ms) for our work within the colony. With which, as faithful subjects to the crown, we paid back to the Governor what we believed to be a reasonable tax for the Kings protection and aid.
Later on in the day, we received yet another visitor, this time via an internet message, where we were graced by the presence of his Majesty, King Kensington Charles III, all the way from across the sea in the great country of Kalamazania, who thanked us for our loyalty to the crown and bestowed upon us the gift of an ice cream party!
Needless to say, we are very excited about our new lives here in the colony of Hoponea! Stay tuned for more events in our new colony!
