Mrs. Whitlock’s class had a terrific time during our two-week Pilgrim simulation. Students imagined they were Pilgrims on the Mayflower, wrote journals imagining what key events of the Pilgrims’ journey would be like, learned about the differences between the Pilgrim and Wampanoag Native American cultures, created Mayflower fact books, and even created Pilgrim hats! We used our hats and special woven placemats we made for our first grade “Friendsgiving.” We learned so much about the Pilgrims and the First Thanksgiving and had a blast in the process!
