Native American Project

This website has some great pictures of Native American homes as ideas for the project model.  Remember, it should be about the size of a half sheet of paper.  Not all of the tribes on this website are California tribes.  Read carefully to look for your California tribe.

May 18th

Our Social Studies project was assigned today.  It is due June 12th.  

Students will research a California Native American tribe.  They will create a mini-book and a 3-D home model. This is an at-home project.  Please ask your student for the directions.  Students have the directions, a cover page, table of contents page, and the paper for the mini-book.  

There is a sample in the classroom.  Come and take a look if you have any questions.
