3rd Grade's Native American Art

Third graders have been learning about Native Americans in both Art and Social Studies. In Art, they made jewelry, masks, and pouches from real leather. Earlier this year, they made Native replica dwellings of mud houses and tepees to represent different tribes. In Social Studies, they have been reading about the many types of tribes and their cultures. Students will be interacting on a virtual website to learn about the Wampanoag tribe that helped the Pilgrims.
