Pilgrims Lesson Plans First Grade – Fifth Grade

Hi there! Thanks for stopping by. I have been working really hard on putting this history unit together and I am so glad I finally get to share it with you! This is a full Pilgrims Lesson Plan designed for first grade – Fifth Grade. Can easily be used with younger grades as well!

If you missed the first history unit in the series you can find it HERE. Its a complete unit all about Jamestown.

We are studying American History in our homeschool this year. I couldn’t bring myself to pay $200 or more for a curriculum, so I decided to create my own! I will be sharing every unit here, on Bless my Budget, with you.

I will be posting a new history unit every month through April 2019. They will all be free for you to use with your kids!

Why am I  giving it away for free?

Well, because I want homeschool to be affordable for you! I want you to have good quality content for your kids. And I need it for mine too!

Alright, let’s get started!

 

THIS MONTHS FREE AMERICAN HISTORY UNIT

HERES WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THIS FREE ALL ABOUT THE PILGRIMS UNIT

• This is full lesson plan, you will not need any extra books. If you desire to dig deeper, I have a suggestion of books below.
• This unit is designed for completing history two days a week and will be completed in one month. (If you don’t complete it in a month that’s fine!)
• All of my units are designed with children in mind. I personally watched about 50 videos until I found ones that I felt were suitable for kids.
• The lessons are simple but full of information.
• Your kids will be watching a few short videos, coloring, cutting, gluing and most importantly having fun learning history!
• If you stick around by the end of the school year, your kids will have a notebook/binder full of awesome American History facts!

This months unit is all about the Pilgrims. Your kids will learn:
