What Mrs. Jung likes about this experience:

"This was such a wonderful experience for my class. I was amazed at my students’ creativities. They had so much fun talking to each other and discussing the facts they learned in class. They used their knowledge to build villages showing where and how the Native Americans had lived long ago. This project allowed the students to collaborate in a fun way. It was very apparent that they enjoyed themselves, as I heard so much laughter during this process. It was a joy to see. "
