Last week Mrs. Houston's first grade class started a unit all about
Thanksgiving. The focus of the lessons are 1. Understanding the
experiences and hardships encountered by the Pilgrims on their voyage to
the New World and in establishing a new settlement. 2. Discovering how
two very different groups of people in the New World lived. 3. Exploring
the different aspects of Plimoth colony's first harvest feast.
Students
have had the opportunity to take virtual field trips aboard the
Mayflower, pack imaginary bags for their trip to America, read/watch
interviews with Pilgrims and Wampanoag, write Thank You cards for the
Wampanoag, and much more! Our unit will culminate on Friday, November 21
with our First Grade Friendsgiving with Mrs. Whitlock's class.
