We have begun our Jamestown Unit in social studies. To kick it off, we spent the morning exploring the land around the Jamestown colony and pretending to be ship captains sent from England in 1607. The Jamestown Adventure website is designed to give students a chance practice decision making skills just like colonists did over 400 years ago. Can you help the colony survive?
Students will receive a study guide for the Jamestown Unit in Thursday folders. They will have an assessment on Thursday, October 8th.
