pick4✨ A family that is looking for religious freedom from a King that the parents already left their hometown for. We look at the preparation and more of the reason behind the dangerous journey before even starting on the Mayflower. Then the dangers and hardships they faced at sea. I liked the focus of their faith and more of a feel of what this might have been like from a child‘s POV. My issue with the book is it follows her brother John not her.
May your Thanksgiving weekend be full of good food, kind friends or family, and some uninterrupted reading time!
Use this book to help students imagine life as a colonial settler by writing their own diary entries.
so-soRemember Patience Whipple writes about her journey on the Mayflower and life in the Plymouth Colony.
“Now the time had come for the ships to start on the great adventure.“
This story seems to be historically accurate and has beautiful illustrations of events that led to the first thanksgiving. Great book for children to understand why we celebrate thanksgiving.
pickThis is a great history book story to read to young children. This book is set up in five chapters so if used in a primary classroom, it may be best to read over the span of a few days. Overall, it's a great story of the pilgrims travels to first arriving and their journeys leading up to the first thanksgiving.
