My fifth graders have been learning a lot about Native Americans recently, so I thought it was the perfect time to create
Teepees. We decorated our
teepees using Native American designs and symbols. To help the students with this, I brought in lots of examples.

The students folded their
teepees to make them stand up. We folded our
teepees eight times. To make the
teepee look like animal
hide, I brought in yellow
ochre watercolors and we did a simple wash over the whole thing.
