The past week we've been talking a lot about Pilgrims. We learned that the pilgrims left from England on September 6th and it took 65 days to get to America. They rode on the Mayflower and there were 102 passengers. Those passengers stayed on the 'tween decks. There wasn't a lot of space and they had to limit what they brought along on the boat. We've also been discussing the differences between life as a pilgrim child and life today. What a difference!!!
Today students worked with a partner and explored pilgrims on the computer. They loved it!! It's just amazing to me how much there is out there on the Internet. Students were SO into learning about pilgrims for about 45 minutes this afternoon. They were reading, laughing, and calling me over to tell me exciting facts they learned . Simply amazing!!! Ask them what they learned. Here is the site and pictures from today: Pilgrim webquest.
