Collaborative Groups - Social Studies

Today students worked in collaborative groups, creating a concept web about the four focus Native American groups - the Cheyenne, Iroquois, Pueblos, and Nez Perce.  Each group's poster included information and facts focused on the following three key concepts:

• 1.  The homelands of native people have influenced their food, clothing, and shelter.
• 2.  The stories and arts of native people were an expression of culture and a way of passing on values. 
• 3.  Early trade was a way of exchanging both goods and ideas. 

Be sure to ask your child how these key concepts apply to the Native American tribe they are studying in the classroom!
