The Jamestown Experience
Students are traveling in crews (partners) around the classroom to learn about the First English Settlement, Jamestown. They are learning many ideas about Jamestown such as how it came about, the colonies hardships, trade, Powhatans Indians, the truth about Pocahontas, and many more interesting facts about Jamestown. Students have eight centers to complete that involve many skills such as technology, sequencing, researching, reading, and poetry.
