As your students may tell you, we attempted to make dream catchers today. It was a bit complicated, but it was also a lot of fun! We were for the most part successful, although a few students may need to work on them again tomorrow.
We talked about the significance of dream catchers as a symbol of certain First Nations cultures. Tomorrow we will discuss some of our classmates' beliefs about the importance of dreams, and talk about where our beliefs differ or connect.
In case you are at a loss for a fun summer craft, here is a link to the website where I found the activity. The directions are directions pretty straight-forward. Happy crafting!
