Hello from the passengers of the Mayflower! We have had a very busy week looking at the lives of these people and their pilgrimage to the New World. We have also been studying the people who were already here when they arrived, namely the Wampanoag Native Americans. We would love to showcase our learning by inviting you in on Tuesday, November 24th at 2:45 for a small program.
Questions to ask your child:
What did you like best about 50's day?
Which time period do you think fits you best? The 50's? The 1800's when schools had only one room? The 1600's when the Pilgrims lived? Why?
What is your Pilgrim name?
What is your Wampanoag name?

Side note: My sister and I travel to Tennessee every November for some great southern-style food, shopping and laughter to last us the rest of the year. I will be gone November 18th, 19th and 20th so if you need anything please let the office know. I will be checking my email a time or two on the trip if you happen to need anything:)
We are pretending that the campsite is the Mayflower and we are pretending we are Pilgrims. They wanted to leave from England so they could be free to teach their children to pray the way they wanted. King James I was the king of England and he told them they had to pray the way he did.
Mrs. McNeal made us quills with pencils and fake feathers. They had to dip them in ink so they could work.
Someone wrote down the real names of the people who traveled on the Mayflower. We got their names and we are pretending to be those people.
The boys in this picture are Greasers and one of the girls is a Pink Lady. The other one is wearing a poodle skirt.
We all got our picture taken on 50's day!
In the 50's, they had people who delivered their milk and people who delivered their bread. Life in the 50's is very different than life now. They had to use a switchboard and call a lady when they wanted to make a call to someone else.
In the 50's, the ladies wouldn't leave until their hair was done (I love this one:)))
We are having a sock hop in our classroom. We had lots of fun songs. Some of them were Rockin' Robin and Lollipop.
They were also dancing at the sock hop. These two boys had some moves!!!! They wore me out just watching them:)
They are dancing together because there were no boys to dance with (smile:)
We won first, second and third place in the October reading log minutes!
He is working on his project during Imagination Station. He is studying body parts.
