- Jamestown
Discussed the problems these settlers had when they first arrived and made graphic organizers to illustrate. Had a great lesson on John Smith in which we discussed why he was a good person to lead these settlers. Made the Jamestown fort models (see previous post with pictures :).
- Discussed (in general terms) how the Virginia Company (a stock company) worked - did an activity with fake money and a box labeled "Virginia Company"
- The First Thanksgiving - we had a great lesson just before Thanksgiving reading books, watching some informational film clips, and writing down new things that we learned about the Pilgrims at Plymouth
