Unbelievable!! I cannot believe it is time for Thanksgiving already. Time flies by so quickly that we all need to be reminded to slow down and enjoy each moment we have with friends and family. Especially during Thanksgiving we are reminded of all the things we are thankful for and I just wanted to say how thankful I am to work with a great team of teachers and students at Highland.
In Social Studies we have begun our unit on The Colonization of North America. So far we have learned about The Lost Colony at Roanoke in North Carolina. This colony was unsuccessful and the colonists mysteriously disappeared. Students read the story and studied evidence to form their own opinions about what happened to them. Then we learned about England's first settlement at Jamestown. This colony was a success thanks to the leadership of John Smith and the help given to them by Pocahontas and the Powhatan people. Next we will learn the facts and the myths surrounding the story of the first Thanksgiving as we read about the Plymouth Colony.
