5th Grade Jamestown Colony Model Project

After learning about the settlers of Jamestown, the first permanent English colony, students created detailed models of the settlement. Their projects included important structures such as the defensive wall and bulwark for protection, row houses where settlers lived, the church for worship, barracks for soldiers, and a trading post for exchanging goods.

This hands-on activity helped students understand how each part of the colony played an important role in daily life and survival. Students showed great creativity and a strong understanding of early colonial history.
