5th grade Social Studies: A Journey to the 13 Colonies
Help me give my students Lincoln logs, construction paper, new posters, Social studies library books
laminate sheets to create excitement in 5th grade Social studies
Welcome to 5th grade Social studies! Imagine yourself standing on the deck of a ship, gazing out at the unfamiliar coastline of North America. You’ve left behind the comfort and familiarity of your home in England, Scotland, or another European country, seeking a fresh start in the New World. The year is 1620, and you’re about to be a part of history. This year, we will embark on an exciting journey back in time to the 13 colonies. Students will explore what it was like to begin a new life in a new land, focusing on the challenges and triumphs faced by early settlers.
Throughout this unit, the students will take on the roll of a colonist, making decisions that will impact their survival and success in the new environment.
They will work with one another to build a thriving colony, navigating the obstacles of disease, hunger, and characteristics of each colony, from the rocky shores of New England to the swampy wetlands of the South.
More than half of students from low‑income households
