November UNIT


This month we are doing a learning unit on the Mayflower, Pilgrims (focus on an actual family that traveled on the Mayflower the Allertons) and the Indians (focus on the Wampanoag tribe). So far we are trying to get organized enough to do a short skit at Thanksgiving, so that is what the below is a picture of. Duh...the Mayflower. Hey, give me a break I tried.
We also visited The San Ramon Valley Museum's Indian exhibit where, while we looked like aliens (we got our hair cut and the lady sprayed their hair while I was selfishly looking at US magazine) , actually learned a bit about the indians native to our area.
We also made Pilgrim hats and a bonnet for Mom. Indian hats and posed for many photos.
Take a peek
PS Notice that when you see the Pilgrim hats Parker wrote What's T.V. on his.
Out of everything we learned that day he was most amazed that the pilgrims had no idea what T.V. was. Holy man!
