FOR TEACHERS

Educational Materials

The Delaware Mayflower Society provides at no cost educational materials to all public, parochial and private schools in Delaware. These materials, which are generally presented to students in the fifth grade or younger, tell the story of the Mayflower's voyage to America in 1620, about the founding of the Colony of New Plymouth, about the Pilgrims, the Native Americans who helped them, about life in New Plymouth, and about the first Thanksgiving. The primary teaching tool is in the form of a DVD which contains these materials. Other materials can be ordered from the General Society of Mayflower Descendants in Plymouth, Massachusetts, at its web site www.themayflowersociety.com/edu.htm .If your school has not received these materials, please contact the Society's Education Chairman at
