Tee-Pees, Wigwams and Jamestown

This week we studied the North American Indians and are reading Squanto: Friend of the Pilgrims. Here are the shots of our various history projects:
Kailie went hunting for tee-pee sticks in the backyard:

She painted them to finish them off:


Cutting out the strips for the base....
Forming the structure.....


And here's the finished wigwam (with a "fully functioning" smokestack)


Here is the replica that we made of Jamestown. We actually did this project over the summer (in case you're wondering).
You can make this replica to, it's from Homeschoolinthewoods.com here's the link: http://www.homeschoolinthewoods.com/HTTA/promo/Jamestown-Replica.htm
