Peabody Middle School United States History classes in Petersburg learned about Native American culture this month.  Grace Jones, Peabody inclusion teacher, brought in her personal collection of Native American clothing and artifacts. The students then used classroom resources to create their own versions of the materials. The presentation also featured discussions of Native American contributions to our country’s past and present history.

Mrs. Jones and Patricia Smith, a Peabody sixth grade history teacher, invited students to travel with them on an imaginary trip that explored customs, tools and names that originated from Native American culture.  At the end of the discussion, students were able to have hands-on experiences with the collection.
