1st and 2nd Grade Dreamcatchers

Students first stop was America! They learned about Native Americans and the story of the Dreamcatcher. They drew a picture of a bad dream they have had inside the Dreamcathcer "web." Then they made the hoop out of four twisted pipe cleaners. Lastly we added our decorative beads and feathers (we learned to tie knots!). We had our first art critique about a Dreamcatcher and they learned that we 1) Describe what we see, 2) Analyze how it was made, 3) Interpret why the art was made, 4) Judge whether we like it or not and why. After we made our Dreamcatchers, we shared our bad dreams that we drew inside the web with each other. Some of us had the same bad dreams in common. Hopefully, these bad dreams will be stuck in the Dreamcatchers from now on!
