Virtual Field Trip

Did you know we traveled allllll the way over to the "New World" (America) today? Yep. We had a great time learning more about the life of the Pilgrims, or Colonists, and felt like we went back in time a few hundred years. 

Here's one funny comment, I must share. While on our virtual field trip, the students saw a wooden chair placed high on the wall, off the floor, in one of the houses of the 1600's. I posed the question, "Why do you think they would put the chair way up there?" A few students gave some good responses, including the correct one, which was because there wasn't much space in the houses. But then one sweetie--achem, Lucia--said, "Ohhh...I thought it was a time-out chair." We all had a great laugh. So cute! 

If you would like to keep exploring Plymouth Plantation, you may do so here.  Have fun and Happy Thanksgiving to all those who will be celebrating!! I'm thankful for each of you. xoxo
