Native American Dreamcatchers


Sample Projects from the 4th Grade
 The 4th grade students are working on a Native American Art unit.  They began by reading the legend of the dreamcatcher, and they learned to make their own using grapevine hoops taken from wreaths and weaving a web using twine.  They added beads and feathers to decorate their work.  It was tricky to keep the strings untangled, but it was a nice break from drawing and painting.
