First Grade students received a visit from Dianne Moran, a woman who specializes in Native American teaching and story telling.
She had some students model the Native clothing of the Plains. The clothing included a deer hide dress, a fur hat, and a badger vest. The clothing was adorned with authentic beads and shells.
The students were able to touch a live red rat snake. This was very exciting for the students.
Thank you Diane Moran for enhancing our study of the Native Americans.
WOW!
ReplyDeleteI looked at Abigail’s folder with her classwork on Native Americans.
Mrs. Schreiner,
You have done an amazing job teaching this chapter of American history! The research, the visuals, the artifacts and crafts, plus the experience with the expert artist’s exhibition made for a comprehensive study, rivaled only by a Doctoral thesis!
Outstanding!
