The children were assigned a "pilgrim" to make after reading about a similar project in the book, Molly's Pilgrim. Today they will be receiving a wooden clothespin body and a pipe cleaner for arms that they will use to turn into a pilgrim. The clothespins already have holes drilled in them for the arm holes. (If your clothespin has two sets of holes drilled, just ignore the ones going the wrong way.) Your child's clothespin person can be a traditional pilgrim or it can be a more modern pilgrim representing your heritage - whoever from your family first came to America.
Have fun with this project and please take this time to share stories about your family history. Please do not worry too much about how your child's pilgrim turns out. Enjoying the process is most important.
A completed clothespin pilgrim is due on Wednesday.
