During the month of May, the students will be learning about
the Colonial Time period and how children lived during this time period. The
Colonial Time period relates to the 13 original British colonies in North
America before their independence in 1776. They will connect this information
back to the unit we studied on Native Americans. During this unit,
the students will compare and contrast their roles in our community with
the roles of children during the colonial times in their community. They will
learn the types of food they ate, how they gathered their food, games the
children played, how they created these games, roles of men/women/children,
homes they lived in and how they were built, children schooling, and modes of
transportation, etc. The students will also explore the importance of how the
contributions of the Colonials have affected America, even today.
The books we will be
reading are:
