Mayflower: What Might Have Become of the Mayflower? A Reading Passage
By Gail Hennessey
So glad to see so many of you have downloaded this resource. I hope you find it of interest. I found my visit to the "Mayflower Barn" on a trip to England(about 40 minutes by train from London) so very interesting. William Penn is buried in the church yard outside of the Quaker Meeting Building.
Please consider following me. Click on the green star by my picture. Thanks!
Ever wonder what became of the Mayflower? The ship sailed with 102 Pilgrims over the Atlantic to North America, in 1620. If you are expecting to find it docked to some pier, or in a museum, you’d be wrong. That’s because the Mayflower most likely ended up as scrap wood and may have ended up in an old Quaker Barn in Great Britain! This Reading Passage is a possible Interactive Notebook Activity with Did You Know? facts and several Your Turn questions.

Community Helpers Sentence Review

With this community helpers packet, students can write sentences about 9 different community helpers and what they do they do to help their community. Students are provided with possible unfamiliar vocabulary words on each page that they can use to help them to write each sentence independently or with minimal support. This is helpful for my students who are in need of material that is adapted and is also useful for students who need more support with spelling and identifying vocabulary words.
