This coming week, we will be talking about Thanksgiving. We will be learning about the holiday, its traditions, and history. With its history comes some interesting facts about
Native Americans, also known as
American Indians. My family and I were able to go to the
Cleveland Museum of Natural History this weekend. What a great afternoon it was! We learned about many new things, including facts about the American Indians. While I was there, I decided to take some pictures to share my learning adventure with you! Take a look and a virtual tour of these artifacts with me:
 |
| Welcome to the museum! |
 |
| The Native Americans used stone to make tools and arrowheads. |
 |
| Clay pottery and dishes, decorated by the Indians. |
 |
| (Take a close look at the pottery, we will be making our own "chalk pots" this week!) |
 |
| Models of what the Native Americans looked like |
 |
| Native Americans were all over the North America. Here is Isaac pointing out a map of Indian tribes that were once right here in Ohio! |
 |
| They wore headpieces with beads and feathers. |
 |
| Here are some more tools and a bear skin. |
 |
| They even made toys for the children! |
I am so excited to share these pictures and the Thanksgiving lessons I have planned for you next week!
