Voyage on the Mayflower

Yesterday we learned all about the Pilgrims voyage to America in 1620. We took a virtual field trip of the Mayflower ship and played a board game that followed their route across the Atlantic.

Native American Research & Thanksgiving

We completed our Native American research last week. Our little books turned out great! Here are a couple of samples.

 
 
 The students learned about their tribe's home, food, clothing, and special traditions they celebrated.
 
 
We are spending this week learning about the events leading up to our country's First Thanksgiving.
