  I did this as part of my Native Americans unit. It was so fun to see the students choose their animals and write about how they connected with the animal spirit.

  I used this during our first Inquiry (InquirED 5th Grade: Native America). The kids had a lot of fun with it. And bonus, it made a beautiful hallway display.

  I absolutely loved this resource! I was looking for a meaningful way to celebrate Indigenous Peoples' Day that went beyond the typical worksheets, and this was exactly what I needed. The background information was easy to understand, and I appreciated that it encouraged respectful conversations while introducing students to the significance of different animals in Indigenous cultures. My students loved choosing an animal that represented them, and the finished projects turned out beautiful. I also appreciated all of the differentiation options for both the craft and writing components because it made it easy to meet the needs of all of my learners. This was low prep, highly engaging, and created a gorgeous bulletin board. I will definitely be using this again!

  I loved this resource! We read several indigenous animal stories and I gave my students the choice of which animal they wanted to research. Gorgeous project when completed. I will do this every year!

  Great resource to learn about indigenous animals and what they represent. Would recommend adding something that explains the shapes used in traditional northwest coast art.

  This was a great craft for Native American History Month. I assigned each student a different animal and they had to write about what the animal represents.

  Kids had sooo much fun researching these animals in Native Culture. I connected it back to character traits, and they did so well with the writing. I have lots of different levels of writers in my room and the differentiated level of support were so helpful in reaching all learners where they're at!
