went to Plymouth Plantation with my cousins! We learned so much! For example, did you know
Wampanoag men couldn’t wear long sleeves as they would get in the way? Instead, they would put
bear fat on their arms, which clogged up their pores. This would not let any of their body heat out,
which kept them warm. Also, did you know that when the Native Americans were sewing their clothes,
the used animal bones as needles and animal tendon as thread. Bone needles actually go through
leather and animal hide better then metal needles! Metal needles snap before they get through the
leather, while bone needles won’t. I also learned that Pilgrim children couldn’t go to school. The best
the adults could do was to homeschool them! I guess I’m carrying on the tradition of the pilgrims, huh!
We also visited Plymouth Rock! It was so amazing! I had a great time! I gotta go! Blog you later!
