Homeschool Social Studies

Last week and this, we're studying about the Pilgrims in Social Studies. Their history, beginning in England and ending with the first Thanksgiving. I got this little treasure box Bible study from a church store a few years ago. I thought it would be an interesting thing to do instead of Bible reading for one week each year. (Christmas is another time we skip our Bible reading... or rather, we read the nativity story in the Bible that day) It contains Bible verses and Bible truths as well as four "treasures" (pictured) to illustrate the lessons. There are also several picture cards containing the Mayflower Compact and various scenes (such as "The First Sermon Ashore") of Pilgrim life.
