The children are building the homes the Indians lived in: Wigwam, Tee Pee and a Longhouse. They will also be making Indian jewelry.
Each family has picked an Indian Tribe to study through the course. We picked the Iroquois Indians.
This is the book we are using for our lapbook:
I found a great resource on HomeschoolShare.com. This is the lapbook designed specifically for the book above. Check it out here!
The kids made their Wigwams and painted them.
Supply List:

Check back soon to see our Tee Pee’s!
LOVE the wigwams! My daughter is just finishing up her History Pockets: Native Americans. Learning about the Native American tribes is very interesting! (My grandmother from 1820s was Etchemin.)
