We started our paper mache physical maps with Mrs. Studdard's students. We'll block out a little time this week to paint and finish them up!
I love teaching history and this week will be no different. We'll be exploring the first Americans, how they got here, how they survived and where they are today. I was fishing this summer on the Pacific Ocean, and will relate how the fish spawning was critical to survival of those people.
We'll finish the week with a look at the Indians of the Southwest. Hopi and other tribes were very resourceful in the desert climate (where your teacher is from) and used irrigation very successfully.
If I can round up enough copies I will send home "Tracing the Anasazi"-a mini-book that can be read with your child. This will be on Wednesday. Unfortunately, some of my materials are missing in this subject and I'm not sure if I can come up with enough copies of many of these extended learning texts...
"Ya ta he" everyone!
