Mayflower Lessons

#1 is learning about the pilgrims who came on the Mayflower in school. Each family could only bring what would fit into a trunk, so clothing, books and personal items were limited. Her assignment was to pretend to be a pilgrim and choose three things to bring with her and then write a paragraph about why she chose them. The three things had to fit into a paper grocery bag. She chose:

1) Her favorite baby doll, Julia - not a surprising choice because this doll rarely leaves her arms or vicinity.

2) Julia's blanket - also not surprising as she always makes sure Julia is completely comfortable. Julia and the blanket are rarely separated.

3) Her Taylor Swift CD - one of her very favorite pastimes is singing and dancing with Taylor Swift which would be very important on a long journey across the sea.

What would you choose?
