Native American Culture Regions

Over the past few days the kids have been working really hard to learn about the different Native American culture regions.  They have studied the environments, natural resources, the types of homes they lived in, what they ate, and the kinds of artifacts the Native made to help them survive.  After reading, watching videos, and taking notes on each region the kids were asked to make artwork of what they learned.  Each group worked hard to make a mural of their region as well as a scaled down model of a dwelling from their region.  Their hard work paid off and below you will find pictures of their amazing murals and dwellings!  Way to go, kiddos!

Below you will find a slideshow of the murals and dwellings as well as of the kids hard at work.
The next step in this journey to learn about the Native Americans will be to write a real estate ad encouraging others to come and buy a dwelling in their region!
