The final tribe/region for the Native American study is the
Native Americans of the Southeastern Woodlands and the Seminole.
The Native Americans of the SE had an advantage over many of
the other tribes. They lived in region
with many game animals, plentiful fish and the perfect climate for
farming. Houses for these tribes were
often just a platform with a straw roof to keep out the hot sun.
The kids read about the Southeastern Natives and completed
their notebook pages. It is easy to see
how much progress Vicki has made with coloring since we started these.
They learned about the Seminole tribe and colored the last
of the title and dictionary cards, and put the last of the shelter stamps on the
map.
The Seminole would wear colorful, elaborate headdresses when
participating in celebrations. The kids
each colored their own headdress.
They made small belt pouches similar to those used by
various native tribes.
The study of Native Americans was completed by reading about
some modern day native children in our Children
Just Like Me book.
