Pilgrim Read Alouds

The Awesome Learners are learning how life was as a child in the 1600s.  

After reading these two texts about pilgrim life, the children will decide if THEY would like to be a pilgrim child.  Next week, we will begin to write an opinion piece of writing that explain why or why not.  Stay tuned for our pieces of writing!

Line Plots

The Awesome Learners separated into groups to learn the difference between bar graphs and line plots.  We joined back together to share what we learned.

We discussed the important parts of a graph; the title, two axises, and the data.

Mayflower Passenger Project

The second graders have been consumed by Pilgrims!  We selected a pilgrim passenger who rode the Mayflower in the voyage of 1620.  Next, we wrote a biography in an autobiographical format.  Last, we created our pilgrims and shared our amazing work with our friends and teachers!  Enjoy our moments...

We are learning about the amazing voyage made by the Pilgrims from England to New England.

Introduction to our Settler Study

We have begun to think about the different between 

explorers and settlers.

We started by sharing what we know about the pilgrim settlers.

Next, we thought about what we wanted to know about this amazing group of travelers.
