Indians
We have been learning about In
dians. There are many different
tribes of Indians. All of them live
in different ways. We learned that
they do not all cook alike, and they
do not build their homes alike.
They do not make their canoes the
same way. Most of the time they
use Red Cedar wood to make their
canoes
We have enjoyed our study about
the Indians.

Science
We did some science experiments
while we were studying Indians
We put a ruler on our desk and
put an eraser on the end of it. We
hofn ho s<~lx L. \
and hit the other end. The eraser
went up in the air. This proved that
bent wood sends things through the
air. The Indians knew this because
they used bows and arrows.
We put our heads down on our
desks-then we scratched lightly
the side of our desk. We could hear
the sound. This proves that a
sound travels through the ground.
The Indians knew this because they
listened for the sound of their en-
emies this way.
We rubbed our hands together.
They got hot. This proved you can
rub things together and start a
fire. The Indians knew this.
We found out that dried foods do
not spoil. We eat raisins and
prunes. Raisins are dried cranes
and prunes are dried plurns. The
Indians knew this.
We found out that we still do
many things that the Indians knew
a long time ago.

Arithmetic skills have offered
real life situations through the
Savings Program. Each day some
of us make a deposit in a savings
bank. On Tuesday of each week, in
dividuals draw from their savings
dime or more to purchase stamps

book, which is provided by the
Treasury of the United States Gov
