You will need to check the books out from your library or own your own copies. We will learn about life in a Native American village, the Nimiipuu, the tribe that we know as the Nez Perce Indians. The goal will be to read 2 chapters a week, at home, while we listen to some chapters read in class and participate in fun activities as well. As we learn about this people-group, we will assemble a fun lap book, and create fun crafts. This class is geared toward average readers and the elementary student.
