I have compiled a list of resources for studying the Pilgrims, Plimoth Plantation, The Mayflower & the 'first' Thanksgiving. My girls are early elementary age, but these resources could be used for older students as well. We will revisit this unit study annually. For now, we are having a ball with it. We started this unit mid-November and will spend many enjoyable hours on these books & projects. Please share your favorites that I have (or have not) listed. Thank you, and...
Happy Thanksgiving!!
Here are a few pics from Thanksgiving season, 2010, when my girls were ages 6 & 7....
