We have a subscription to Discovery Education(you can get the login information from the Library Haiku page). There are a lot of videos and lessons plans for Colonial America. One in particular is called "The Colony of Virginia" (5:48). It talks about the British coming over to Jamestown, construction of the buildings and fort, the different classes of people, tobacco, slaves, and ends with George Washington and Thomas Jefferson. Another video is "Pilgrims: The First Thanksgiving" (4.31) which covers leaving England through the first Thanksgiving.
