Native American Project
Native American Project
Due Date: Thursday, November 10th
Second Grade is starting a Native American Unit in Social Studies. In class we will be learning about the Powhatan Indians, the Pueblo Indians, and the Lakota Indians. The students will learn about where the tribes were located in the United States, the food that they eat, the homes they built, the clothing worn, and the transportation used.
Today the students were given a project to be completed at home and will have 3 weeks to complete it. Students need to pick a Native American tribe, research that tribe, complete the booklet on the tribe, make a three-dimensional representation of the tribe, and then present it to the class
Students were given a packet today with a list of Native American tribes to choose from. You may choose a tribe not on the list. The three tribes we ask that you not select are the Powhatan, Pueblo, or Lakota because we will cover these tribes extensively in class.
Projects and booklets will be on display at the Second Grade Native American Performance on November 15th.
