Here is a brief list of lessons/highlights from our Native American unit (unfortunately I had not gotten in the habit of bringing my camera to school yet):
- Making our class time machine! (this was on the first day of school)
- Making salt dough 3D maps of the United States
- Cherokee Harvest Festival and Native American occupations (hunter, gatherer, farmer, artisan)
- Learning traditional Iroquois dances (smoke dance and stomp dance)
- Discussing the lives of the cliff-dwelling Anasazi, making clay pots
- The significance of Native American symbols - carving soap (petroglyphs) and painting rocks (pictographs)
- Making our own snow goggles - the lifestyle of the Inuit people
