4th Grade Pilgrim Days
The fourth graders spend their year exploring immigration, a close look at those iconic American immigrants, the Pilgrims, for their final unit. After major research with primary and secondary sources, the grade deepened their understandings with two special Pilgrim Days.
On the first day they attended workshops with four educators from Plimoth Plantation (two in character): quill writing, Pilgrim Games, Pike marching, and artifact explorations.
On the second day, the grade went off to The Fresh Air Fund's Sharpe Reservation New Link where they learned what the hard work of surviving for the Pilgrim's was like. They planted, cleaned out animal pens, collected eggs, learned about Native American farming techniques (that they shared with the Pilgrims), and more.
