Today we started to research about the pilgrims and their trip on the Mayflower.  We watched a short movie clip and then used the following website.

These are some of our observations about the trip:
"The pilgrims that rode on the Mayflower did not have very good things to eat." Jude
"The trip was hard for them because they were down in a dark hold with no real beds."Saxton
"It took them 65 days to cross the ocean."Aidan
"They were all crammed up in the small area below the deck."Laura
"Most of the pilgrims slept on the floor."Alberto
"There was a storm while they were sailing and they went off course."Jacob
"Some of the pilgrims were strangers and did not know anyone."Emma
"Most of the crew of the Mayflower were not nice to the pilgrims."Ian
"Most of the pilgrims got sick on their journey."Aidan
"During a storm one of the main beams cracked." Laura
