5th grade is in the middle of a social studies unit on Native Americans. Today we read Native American Art to support their study. The students saw lots of familiar words and were able to make great connections with this book. We realized that most Native American art is not only beautiful, but also useful.
Read on to find out what our favorite art pieces were:
* I liked the basket because it was beautiful and they could use it like a suitcase to carry things as they traveled following the buffalo. - Shanel
* I think it's amazing how they can make art, tools, arrowheads and so many other things from bison!! - CJ
* I like the sand art paintings they used to help people when they were sick. - Tyreesha
* My favorite was the Wampum Belt of 1794 because it has things to represent the 13 US colonies. - Brian
