So today is day 1 of our Native American Unit. We have had a ton of fun today. We watched a documentary, we decorated our Native American unit folders, completed worksheets, made paper dolls, and decorated and made cute wearable headbands. The girls are also very excited because my hubby told the girls that he would help them build a big tepee in the backyard. They are excited for him to return home from work, very excited.
