Constructing Creativity & Learning

(Press the arrow button to play the slideshow.)

 

Students on Team Nautilus created a Native American home of their choice for a project in our unit in social studies class.  Students created pueblos, wigwams, hogans, teepees, and longhouses and presented them to their class for an oral speaking grade.  

 

 It was very interesting to see how each student tackled the project, researched the type of Native American home, and constructed it with original materials.   Many students used natural materials that were close to the materials Native Americans used in their regions.  Some students wanted to create a whole scene for the home.

 

 It was a joy to see each student's excitement,  pride, and confidence in their work.  There was also a wonderful sense of admiration for their classmates's work.  A special thank you goes out to all of our parents and project helpers at home!    Many of the students wanted to display their work, while others wanted to take their special project back home to appreciate.  The students' homes will be on display in our library until the end of November.
