Week of November 8, 2015
This week we will continue with our unit on the First Thanksgiving but our focus will be on Native Americans. We will learn about how Squanto helped the pilgrims survive the first year in America as well as what foods they grew and how they hunted and learned to fish. We will learn that they built tee pees as shelter and built canoes to travel.
