Today, the students made wonderful dolls with corn husks. We had watched a video about what life was like in the past for one Native American tribe.
It turned into a discussion about the past. Students were surprised that there was no electricity or tablets back them! Cars didn't exist and you couldn't go to Toys R Us to buy toys. You made your own toys to play with. I thought it would be meaningful for students to make toys. Brought up the idea to my talented paraprofessionals and they found an easy do it yourself video:
The results were pretty amazing! Not only did the students make dolls today, but they all had such an wonderful time playing them! Boys and girls alike used their dolls during playtime and of course wanted to take them home to share! You could say it was a successful activity! Loved all the imagination and language! #activitiesthatteach #learningabouthistory
