Social Studies: Colonial America, Pilgrims, Thanksgiving, and Character trait - Thankfulness.
We got behind just trying to do the basics (math, language/phonics, and reading), so we had a few weeks assignments to get done before breaking for the holiday. They were important and fun, so we dedicated most of the day to social studies.
- Read many books related to the above themes.
- Discussed basic needs of early settlers.
- How did the pilgrims prepare for their voyage? How did they get supplies they needed?
- Demonstrate the pilgrims' journey on the globe. Where did they go prior to coming to the New World?
- Discuss why the pilgrims were willing to undergo the hardships of the journey and life in the New World. Would you be willing to undergo such hardships for your religious freedoms?
- Discussed community. Would the pilgrims voyage and early colony have worked if there wasn't a sense of community?
- How did the pilgrims procure their food? What kinds of foods were available to them? Was this a balanced diet? How did the pilgrims diet compare with our diet today?
- Discuss exciting events and difficulties that you may have endured if you sailed on the Mayflower.
- The voyage on the Mayflower was long. But even after arriving at the New World, pilgrims had to live on the Mayflower until they built homes. The first homes were common houses, where many or all of the pilgrims lived, but later families built small log cabins. For a hands-on lesson, Shayla built a log cabin with Lincoln logs.
- How did the Native Americans help the pilgrims? What caused this relationship to end eventually?
- Read Berenstain Bears Count Their Blessings. Who/what are you thankful for? How can we show thanks?
- Watched Disney's Pocahontas movie.
This is the book she made.
