What educators are saying

My students loved this project. They enjoyed making their own personal totem pole to take home and writing about why they chose the animals they put on their totem pole.
I was looking for a fun and educational craft for my 2nd graders during Native American month. I love this and will use it next year too! The kiddos get to be creative and unique in their totem making. Thanks!
