JCA Day 56 The Mayflower

Thanksgiving approaches!
We are studying about the Pilgrims who came from England to America on the ship, the Mayflower. They came to America so they could worship God the way they believed was right.
The trip across the ocean was very long......one baby was born and was named "Oceanus"...
The first winter was very harsh, and of the approximate 100 Pilgrims who arrived in America...
about half of them died the first winter. They had to build their homes and their church.
A friendly Indian named Squanto taught them how to plant and grow fruits and vegetables.
The Pilgrims and Indians celebrated the first Thanksgiving together.


Today we worked with our number sticks we made yesterday out of pinto beans.
It's a great way to add!!!
7 + 8 = 15!!!!!!!
It's a secret!

At center 2 today we put together puzzles.
We always LOVE our computer time!
Wonderful educational games!!!
It's probably our very favorite thing to do!
