Learning Social Studies

During my field observation, my teacher introduced the topic of pilgrims.  For the entire month of November, the students will be learning about the pilgrims.  They will start with the pilgrims’ journey from England to Plymouth Rock, and the reason the pilgrims wanted to leave England.  Additionally, while the students are learning about the pilgrims, they will wear pilgrim hats that they made themselves from construction paper.  I thought this was a great way to get the students interested and excited about learning!
