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.

Questioning

Bring Your Own Technology

We will be starting BYOT (Bring Your Own Technology) in our class on Tuesday, October 11th! A Pinebrook Elementary School Student Contract was sent home with students today.

Students in this classroom will primarily be using their devices during center time so please make sure Raz-Kids is easily accessible to them on their device. Ear buds must be worn for this program due to the read aloud aspect of Raz-Kids.

At times, students will be allowed to use Reflex Math during math time as well. Please also have this program on their device.

Teachers are not allowed to touch devices. If your child is having a difficult time using the device, they will be asked to take it home and ask their parents for assistance.

Consequences for not using device properly: Pinebrook Policy
1st Violation- 2 week suspension from using device in school
2nd Violation- 1 month suspension from using device in school
