We spent some extra time on Captain John Smith and his influence with the settlement of Jamestown, named after King James, and his friendship with Pocahontas. A favorite fact: Pocahontas is a nickname from her father meaning "naughty one", when she was baptized in England they named her Rebecca. (Lilly loved this!) Lilly is our Rebecca/Pocahontas. hehe!Micah read The True Story of Pocahontas by Lucille Recht Penner and I read What's So Great About ...? Pocahontas by Susan Sales Harkins & William H. Harkins.
We are now beginning Squanto Friend of the Pilgrims by Clyde Robert Bulla. This will transition us into our week of Native Americans. He also meets Captain John Smith.
