This week we started looking at Long Ago vs. Today. We investigated artifacts from Long Ago and learned that kids went to school in one room houses, used lanterns for light, used a quill and inkwell to write and only had 1 book called a primer at school. When then went back further in time to learn about the Pilgrims. We learned about why they were leaving America and all about the Mayflower. Check out this website! http://www.scholastic.com/scholastic_thanksgiving/webcast.htm We watched the video about the mayflower from here. We then climbed into our "Mayflower" and started our journey! The kids wrote from the perspective of a pilgrim about packing to leave England in their Pilgrim journey.
