Studying Native Americans

Our fifth grade students recently studied and created reports on Native American tribes from various regions across the United States. Working in small groups, the students integrated technology into their daily quest to find facts on topics such as where the tribes lived, what they ate, what their everyday life was like, and different ways the specific tribes interacted with English settlers. Groups also had the opportunity to add a creative element to their final presentations. Dioramas were constructed, tribal flags were created, delicious food was shared, and costumes were designed. It was a great learning experience and a fun memory for everyone.
