200 Steps and our new reading spot!




Great job Christian and April!!





A Native American's Home

We researched Native American homes on Wednesday. We learned that many of their homes are Teepees and have symbols on them. We painted Native American symbols on a bed sheet before constructing our very own Teepee.

We are so proud of our students' hard work. Check back to see pictures of us reading in our Teepee! 

Here is our finished Teepee! A perfect addition to our reading center! 

In writing, we compared the homes of Native Americans long ago to our homes today. Here are a few samples from our Thanksgiving Then and Now books. 


Their handwriting and details in their illustrations look wonderful! Great job friends! I am a very happy teacher!

Building a Map of our Community

First, we illustrated a "blue print" of our community.

We used our blueprint to begin construction.
