We did a native American diorama project. It was lots of fun. I had the Southwest Navajo.  It has a moveable part! The project was fun.

My Native American Diorama is about the Indians on the Northwest Coast, which is basically California, Oregon, and Washington. Since they hunted whales, I have some hunters in a boat with spears. I also have a whale in the ocean.  There is a house called a pit house. There is also a bear on the wall. There is a lot of stuff in my project. ~Jackson G.

This year for Social Studies we did a project where we had to make a diorama. It wasn't just a free project though we had to include landscape on three walls, shelter, food, animals in habitat, and some other stuff too. We got to pick what tribe we wanted to do. I picked the Eastern Woodland Indians.  I picked them because I really liked everything they did. My project was fun to make and I got a perfect score! That was one of my favorite projects ever! ~Taylor B.

The Native American Diorama project that we did was so much fun! There were eight things we had to put in. The stuff that we had to put in were like what they ate, what they hunted, and what type of houses they live in. We could have gotten a score of 40/40, but Mrs. Brown gave us extra credit.  The extra credit was that if we added a moveable part we got five extra points so there was a possible score of 45/40.  The Native American group that I did was the Great Plains. I got a perfect score of 45/40, a lot of people did. I think we should do more projects like this one, it was so much fun! ~Sydnee H.

For social studies we had to make a diorama. They were about the Native American groups. I did mine about the Aztecs. They are a group that build massive structures for houses. Everybody's were great. I think it was a really fun project. I got an A on mine. This social studies project was a blast to do. ~Dalron G.

This week we did a diorama for history. Everyone had a special group. Mine was Indians of the Northwest. We had to include the kind of food they ate, housing and much more. Mrs. Brown was so happy with the results. Mrs. Brown even put them on display in the library. I loved doing this project. It was terrific. ~Savannah

My Native American diorama was pretty awesome. I got an A- awesome grade! My region was the great plains. In my diorama I had a tepee, five buffalo, two hunters, and eagle, and a meat rack. It was really fun to do with my dad. My dad helped me print out the pictures. ~Madeline

My Diorama was about the Woodlands. The project was very fun. We had to include a house food or plants the three walls had to be colored. My house was a teepee. The foods were buffalo. The three walls were mountains. My project was very fun. ~Lucas M.

Most of these photographs were taken through the view hole in the box. The dioramas turned out really well. The students put a lot of time and effort into them. They were completed above and beyond my expectations! ~Mrs. Brown
