Homework 11-22-10

Note:  We had an excellent field trip on Friday.  I think that the kids really enjoyed themselves.  Please encourage your student to retell the day and discuss with them what they learned.  Hopefully they can:
- name the three ships that brought the English to Virginia
- tell you the name of the river where Jamestown is located and where it got it's name
- describe the life of a Native American according to the seasons
- give you three reasons the English chose Jamestown as the settlement site
- talk about how the lives of the Powhatan and English connected

**A HUGE thank you goes out to my chaperons!  Mrs. Conover and Mrs. Mackenzie, you ladies are the best!!  Thank you for all of your help!  I know the kids enjoyed spending the day with you.
