Native American Teepee

Kindergarten artists are learning about Native American people and teepees (the home of Native Americans). We are talking about how the Native Americans lived, what shape teepees were and what they were made from and introduced AB patterns (i.e. red, blue, red, blue/ circle, triangle, circle, triangle).
Kindergartners are using construction paper and markers for their teepee. Next week, the artists will paint a background on a large 12x18 paper and glue their teepee on top.

We created a classroom teepee out of canvas and dowel rods. The "fire" from battery operated candles.
