These are math, reading, language arts, science, social studies, writing, readers theater, and wordsearch websites I have saved...not sure if they are current or not. They are not in any particular order & I tried to check for doubles, but there still may be some. If you are like me, I'm always looking for new websites that may have just what I need! I do not have these linked yet. You will have to cut & paste.

Pilgrims
http://www.holidays.net/thanksgiving/pilgrims
www.holiday.net , then find thanksgiving 2007, then pilgrims. This will give you the page that won't open for you.
Interact has a great simulation called The Pilgrims if you have enough time it takes your class on a simulated journey through the pilgrims voyage. I learned about the PIlgrims more from this activity than I did from all my schooling!
Great for Civics! Download for your grade level, today. Do on Sept. 17th!
