Hands On" Social Studies Project Leads to Deeper Understanding at St. Mary School in Crown Point

The 5th graders in Mrs. Williams’ class at St. Mary Catholic Community School in Crown Point, created Native American dioramas.  The dioramas displayed items from the chosen tribe's heritage, religion, and cultures.  The students learned about many tribes including: the Navajo, Maya, Pueblo, Shawnee, Lakota, Inuit, and Hope Indian tribes. All the students' dioramas were unique and very creative. “I enjoyed learning more about the Shawnee tribe and including those items in my diorama,” said student Cayden Purling.
