Identity Dolls
2nd graders began this unit by looking at dolls from various Native American cultures. We discussed that dolls have been created for many purposes and have often been created for or by children. These dolls were toys and often tools for learning. We used the dolls as learning tools to discover new things about other cultures. We saw that dolls have helped teach children skills from family life, hunting, and sewing. 2nd graders are now creating identity dolls about themselves so others can learn about us!
