Native Americans

Dear Third Grade Families,

Our class has been learning about Native Americans who settled in the Arctic region of North America.  Third graders are reading and learning about the long, dark, cold Arctic winters and the clothing the Inuit people made from animals they hunted to stay warm.  Students have learned about different types of houses the Inuit lived in (sod houses, snow houses, and summer tents).  We have read about hunting techniques and learned about animals of the Arctic that were hunted and used for food, clothing, and tools.  Check out the photographs of our class making hunting necklaces from "animal teeth."

Sincerely,
Mrs. Simpson
