Learning About Native Americans

 

 We are having a lot of fun learning about Native Americans this week.  They did so many neat things.  Today we learned about "wampum."  The easiest way to explain this to our children is to say that it was like "money."  So we made a "wampum bag" or "wallet" and found some really cool things in nature that we would have used like "wampum." 

  

 

We also made Native American Headbands with our nature inspired names and had a tee pee snack with some graham crackers.  We just love learning about our Thanksgiving frriends.
