Today we learned all about the Life of a Pilgrim Child. The lessons we did happened to be an extension of the last post, BUT I have done these as stand-alone activities before.
We started off today by reading some of our favorite Pilgrim books.
If I had a copy, I would have also read the book "Samuel Eaton's Day: A Day in the Life of a Pilgrim Boy" by Kate Waters.
Then we added to our pilgrim boy and girl venn diagram.
We then went back into our character roles that we did as part of our Mayflower lesson which you can find here.
To refresh your memory: we finished watching the first 10 minutes of Charlie Brown Mayflower Voyage and they are now at the part where they are about to get off the ship & explore the New World.
I told the students that before they can get off the Mayflower and explore the New World (w/ Charlie Brown), they had to write an expert piece about children living in Pilgrim times.
After they finished their writing, they created themselves as a pilgrim boy/girl.
