- Compare children and families of today with those in the past
Our thematic unit is over helping kindergarten students compare their lives today with the lives of children during the colonial times in the New England colonies. Colonialism took place in America from about 1565 to 1776. During this time, life was different for families and children than it is right now in literally every aspect: family dynamics, school, transportation, clothing, etc. For the purposes of our unit, we will be focusing on everyday differences, home life, school life, and life out of school. |
