Wampanoag Study

Featured Blogger: Sammie
3Sp is learning about the Pilgrims and Wampanoags!  We are starting out with the Wampanoags but we will learn about the Pilgrims too!  3Sp took a field trip to Plimoth Plantation and saw how the Pilgrims and Wampanoags lived in the 1600s!  Ms. Sprague has been reading us chapters of a Magic Tree House book about the Wampanoags in social studies!

3Sp did a fun activity where you have a partner and get assigned a picture.  With the picture you had to guess what it was and answer 6 questions.  (The pictures were blurry)!  Then we had to share it.  We have packets that have things to do and stuff to learn about in them!  3Sp is doing an activity with folders that have some cards and some articles in it too!  We will be learning about what the Wampanoags did in the 1600s to survive!  We learned that girls and boys did different chores instead of the same ones!  Wampanoags lived in a wetu in the summer and in a different home in the other seasons!  3Sp had a real Wampanoag come in on December 13!

The topics for an activity we are doing are: Food, A Thankful Spirit, People Of The First Light, Hunting, Fishing, Wampanoag Homes, Wampanoag Clothing, Roles And Responsibilities, Children, Leaders, Legend Of Maushop, and Wampanoag Language!  We are doing research about every day now but not every single day!  3Sp is having so much fun!  We switch the folders every day.  We love learning about the Wampanoags in social studies.


We will learn about the Pilgrims later!!
