OLYMPIC PENINSULA ACADEMY

Students in the K-1 class at Olympic Peninsula Academy researched and created tools that Native Americans used to help them with their everyday lives. They shared their discoveries and creations with their peers, then they created a mini class museum of their discoveries. The class enjoyed comparing Native American tools from 100-plus years ago to the tools we use in our homes today. We discussed how they were made, what they are used for, and much more. Among the tools in our mini museum were baskets, hammers, a sewing needle, pottery, musical instruments and much more.
