Recently, we have been looking at human migration, immigration, and lately the Pilgrims. We are talking about the reasons people migrated to this part of the world.
We have spoken about the potato famine in Ireland, Ellis Island, and now we are looking at religious persecution through the Pilgrims. We have been doing a simulation of sorts. Kids have studied how the Pilgrims made the decision to leave England, what the crossing was like, and the new notion of self government through the Mayflower Compact. Yesterday, they simulated building a new settlement.
Please enjoy discussing these concepts with you child at home. They should be able to talk at length about human migration, immigration and the Pilgrims!
