OUR SPECIAL GUEST

On December 3, we had a special guest from Plymouth, Massachusetts. His name is Michael Weber, and he goes around the country teaching about the Pilgrims, dressing as the character. He also works at the "Plimouth Plantation." In our class, his character is Francis Cook, a Pilgrim who left his wife and young children back in England while he and is oldest son come to America to work. He told about the horrible journey, and how they colonized Massachusetts. Tyler and Eli tried on the clothes of the young children. Ryan W tried on the gown of the very young, and also the hat to cushion his head if he fell.
