On Friday, we had a walking museum where classes came to see our Native American project and slideshows! We worked hard in groups where we each had a job, researched and made a creation showing what we learned #pbl Viola Elementary

Some of our Native American pbl projects made from our maker space showing all the information we learned while we researched. Notice the incredible little details! Viola Elementary

Longhouses, fire pits, the three sisters (corn, beans and squash) and more of what we learned about Native Americans can be found in our pbl projects! Viola Elementary
