Hello! Subbing for two days in a row: 8th grade math. Today we are watching A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving!



I actually learned something new about America. Did you know that the first settlers didn't even settle at the first land? They had to travel up and down the east coast to find good land. And two people died on the trip over, but one baby was born.

The second baby was born dead on the Mayflower; she was the daughter of Mary Allerton, whose father was also on the trip: Isaac Allerton. They left England via Holland for religious freedom.

You are a direct descendant of his and of another Pilgrim, Richard Warren.

That same year, in November, another ancestor, Robert Cushman, arrived on the Fortune from England.

This is how your ancestors settled this country; you are 13th generation American
