This week we learned all about Native Americans! It is one of my favorite weeks to teach! You can see what we did last year here. There are some links for a video and an idea to help create an ambiance to your learning! I used the resources from my Native American Learning Pow-Wow resource! It is packed with cultural learning resources for your classroom!

Sorting cards for Native American Life.
Writing our Native American Names.
Making Native American Baby Papoose's and using symmetry in our art!
The students had a blast learning about Native American culture. We made our vests, too! Sorry for the lack of pictures-- sometimes we just get too engrossed in our learning that I forget! We also read our story Baby Rattlesnake. See the link above for my blog post on that. The kids really got into the story and learned a little bit more on being responsible.
Next week we will be starting long vowels with silent e! Eek! Such a difficult skill! I try to incorporate song as much as I can into my lesson so that my kiddos can sing to remember. I learn something easier if there is a catchy phrase or tune! Before I start telling you about the videos, I NEED to share with you a great site to share videos with your kids! It's called sharesafe.tv (for some reason, the link isn't working for me. Just google sharesafe tv).
(Please don't laugh at all the windows open!! I have at least 5 open at all times!!! Zoinks!)
These silent e videos are NOT shared via Sharesafe TV but it would be a good way to practice linking them!!
Here is a little freebie for you, too, to help you practice long a! I am a HUGE football fan although my team this year is not doing so well.

Hope you all have a great week!
