Hello, there. We are about to begin a unit of study on Early Vermont and Heritage. One activity in the curriculum is to build an Algonquin Indian style wigwam. To do this we need natural materials such as wood saplings and birchbark.
I think it would be really educational (yes, but also really fun) to build one large enough to sit in. I am not a builder and a project like this run by me would be doomed to fail. Are there any parents or grandparents out there who are handy enough to gather materials and help us construct one on the playground? It would not have to be a full size one, a playhouse version would be fine.
We are also going to start some seedlings inside to replicate gardening for the Algonquins. Do you have any left over seeds or potting soil that you would be willing to donate? If so, contact me either through email at the school, call, or send in a note with your student.
