Our Native American studies culminated this week with our field trip to the Outdoor Discovery Center, and our Native American Museum Day. The ODC does a fantastic job engaging the students with the experience of Native American life. We got to try and start a fire with just two sticks, we built native three pole houses, and got to throw primitive Atlatl. It was a fantastic learning experience, and big day of fun.
Our Native American Museum Day was another celebration of learning. The kids presented their differentiated projects to several other classes, we even had a visit by Mrs. Kontowicz and Ms. Miller! We finished up the day by making dreamcatchers from willow branches just like the Native American's here in Michigan would have done. Thank you so much to all the parents that donated food items, artifacts, and helping their students dress up for the day.
