Mrs. Saults’s 4th-grade students proudly presented their Nebraska Native American tribe posters after completing a research project using library materials. Using a variety of library resources, students gathered facts and information about the seven Native American tribes of Nebraska, deepening their understanding of the state’s history and cultural heritage.
This project aligns with Nebraska 4th Grade Social Studies standards by encouraging students to research Nebraska’s diverse cultures, explain the contributions and traditions of Native American tribes, and use primary and secondary sources to communicate their learning. Great work showcasing curiosity, research skills, and respect for Nebraska’s rich history!
