Our United States Scrapbook~ Massachusetts

The Pilgrims

Our study of Massachusetts fell perfectly in the month of November! What better time to learn about Massachusetts and the pilgrims than during the month we celebrate Thanksgiving.

We read the story The Pilgrims of Plimoth.

We read a few books about Massachusetts, we borrowed from our local library.

                                        

and

                                                             

After reading through a variety of books, we filled in out State Notebooks and then  created our scrapbook pages!

To go along with our study, we sketched the ducks using pastels.

The kids had a fun creating the ducklings.
