As we come to the end of our Native American Sioux unit, third grade students have started creating traditional Sioux homes. Sioux Native Americans resided in tipis. Using construction paper, tape, colored pencils and picture dictionaries, students created tipi replicas. Students were sure to have their tipi door openings facing east, where the sun rises. The Sioux felt that the sun was very powerful and brought them special powers. Students were excited to put their creativity to work in designing these traditional homes.
