Angell 5th Graders Virtually Visit Plymouth Patuxet Museum
Last month, Angell 5th graders were treated to a virtual tour of the Plymouth Patuxet Museum. The tour was led by Timothy Turner, a member of the Cherokee Nation. Mr. Turner spoke about the museum’s history and its focus on colonial life and the Massasoit Indigenous people.
During the presentation students learned about and saw examples of how the Massasoit used the land for food, shelter, clothing, and tools. They also learned about daily life of children and adults within the tribe. Angell 5th grade teacher, Gale Tosto shared, “The focus of the field trip was to help us gain more insight on our driving question for our social studies unit, "How can we better honor the cultural heritage of this land?" in terms of the United States.”
