 One day in reading class we got to make beady buddies. They were all snakes. I got a white one with blue eyes. At the end of mine I got green beads. They are about 6 inches long. At first I thought it would be hard but I found that it is easy. Plus it's fun to do. You can put them on your backpack or whatever. I put mine on my notebook. She got the idea from John Jay Sam (our guest speaker). That was our bead project. ... Brenen
Bead Fun We have been seeing visitors so much. If you remember we had Mr. John Jay Sam and how he had a bead head band. Well our reading teacher, Mrs. Lyman, wanted to do something like that. So she said that it would be fun to make Bead Buddies. So she got the materials that we would need and we made them. It was fun. Some people had problems at first. Then after a while they got a hang of it. ... Amber J One day in ready class we got to make beady buddies. They were all snakes. I got a white one with blue eyes.

Brenen Making Bead Snakes When Jay Sam came to our school he talked about stuff and showed us many of the things that he had done during his childhood. Some of those things were elk skin, beaded head bans, a bag to replace his pockets, a feather, and a talking stick. The one that I thought looked the best was his beaded head ban. Now we tried to make something that looked similar so we made what we call beady buddies. They weren't head bans or some other fancy thing that Jay Sam did but I thought it was really fun. Thanks for giving us the idea to make those beady buddies. Erin Wagoner Our Class Bead Project In reading we did a bead project. We did it because we had an Indian come into our class and tell us about Indian culture. He had made bead work with elk skin, head bands. So in reading, Mrs. Lyman brought in some beads and string and we all made snake beady buddies. It was really fun because we got to keep the beady buddies. Ours looked like the ones that the Indian showed us but we used bigger beads and his was on a headband. My beady buddy gave me good luck. ...Chris P |
When John Jay Sam of the Ottawa Indians came and
spoke to our group, we were impressed with the bead work
he had done. We decided to try our hand at making things
with beads. March 8, 1999
Bead work in reading In reading we had a guest speaker named John Jay Sam. He showed us thing that they made in Indian cultures like bead work on moose skin and a deer skin pouch to carry stuff in. About a week later or so we did a project on the bead work in reading. We made these things called beanie buddies. ...Jason M Beads Last Thursday Jay Sam came to our class. When Jay Sam came to our class and spoke we were impressed with the beadwork he showed us. So on Monday in reading Mrs.Lyman brought in some beads and we made beady buddies. We all made snakes out of the beads. It was a very fun day. ... Kelsey Voorheis
Bead Making It was really fun making these because since the Indian came in. We have been talking about him a lot. Ms Lyman came in with a bag of beads. She said we could make a snake. It was hard at first, but I got use to it. I usually keep it on my belt but today I forget it. I try not to forget because I like it. Now I wanted to do it every day. I told my dad to buy some beads. It was fun can't you tell?.... Mathew S
