Building Indian Houses

    In history this week, our second graders spent some time studying the different Indian homes from the different parts of our country.We looked at wigwams, chickees, peublos, and tepees. On Friday, Ms. MJ came in armed with supplies to help us make our own Indian houses!
   Students worked in pairs and decided which Indian house they wanted to make. They then drew up plans, gathered the materials they would need, and got to work! It was so fun to see them work together, make a plan, and then execute that plan. Here a some pics of each step!
