2nd Graders Learn about Indians

Mrs. Loeffler's 2nd grade students were studying about the Indians of North America and they kept asking questions about various Indian tribes. The students were interested in different tribes and wanted to learn more about them which led to doing a project on an Indian tribe of their choice. The students were asked to research their tribes type of food, shelter, and clothing worn. Additional information on beliefs, interesting facts, etc. about their tribe could also be included in their reports. Some students created project boards and dioramas on their tribes. All of the students participated and enjoyed seeing their reports and projects displayed in the GCA hallway!
