What Have We Already Learned?

Image Card 16 (Mayflower) above the new verse.

Review the previous read-aloud in which the Pilgrims sailed across
the Atlantic Ocean. Ask students to recall the name of their ship
(Mayflower) and some of the dangers they faced. Remind students
that you will start off each day by learning a song about the readaloud
from the day before, to review what they have learned.
As you point to Image Card 16, ask students to listen to the
following verse to the tune of “I’m a Little Teapot,” and then have
them sing it with you the second time:
I am the Mayflower. I’m the ship
To take the Pilgrims on their trip.
They are sailing west to the colonies
So they can worship as they please.
Say, “In the previous read-aloud, we learned that the Pilgrims
sailed and landed in the year 1620. Let’s see where that belongs
on the timeline we made a few days ago.” Make an index card
with the year 1620 on it and tape it to the appropriate place on
the timeline. Then place Image Card 17 (Pilgrims) above it on the
timeline. Point out that the date the Pilgrims sailed is closer to that
of Columbus’s voyage in 1492 than it is to today.
Remind students that both of these stories happened hundreds of
years ago.
