The Pilgrims where people that came to America long ago when not a lot of people lived there. They sailed to America on a ship called the Mayflower.
Right now we are studying the pilgrims in school. We read a little bit of the journal by a pilgrim on the Mayflower. The journal is called Mourt’s Relations. Nobody really knows why it is called Mourt’s Relations but they think that William Bradford a person that was on the Mayflower used Mourt’s name as a pen name.
When the Pilgrims where around there was no such thing as spelling. So in school we read the journal and then annotated and looked for misspelled words in it.
When we did that the next step was to chose a line or a sentence from the journal and then we had to draw it and write the line on a piece of paper. I posted the picture on my blog too.
I drew a picture of when the people on the Mayflower first sited land and were very happy after that long trip on the small boat.
I loved this study because it was fun and I love to draw!
