Building Native American Homes- Part One

We started constructing our Native American Villages today! The students have been collecting items from home to use for this project.

They have a rubric to follow with specifics of what their village must include.

Before beginning construction, the students illustrated a "blueprint" of their design.

Animal Unit Vocabulary and Study Guide

As we are coming to the end of our Animal Unit, we are reviewing the vocabulary and adaptions of animals we have learned about. Your child has this in their Science "I Wonder" journal. Please begin reviewing this at home. Our test will be at the end of next week. A review will go home by Tuesday. 

Captain Sadler Day

        

We had a great time at our 'at school fieldtrip'! The students enjoyed hearing Native American legends, getting their faces painted with war paint symbols, dressing up in Native American attire for pictures, playing with colonial day toys, candle dipping, Tin typing, and making necklaces using items similar to the Native Americans.

Enjoy the pictures from our day. They should receive their Native American dress-up pictures soon!
