Dear 3rd Grade Families,Welcome to my favorite unit of the year! We are starting our exploration into the lives of early Native Americans. In reading, we will be learning through Native American Legends. In writing, we will be writing persuasive pieces about our favorite legend we've read. We will also be learning more about daily life of the Early Northwest Coast People in Social Studies.
I have included a few of our read-aloud books that we will be reading during this unit. We will learn about two different types of legends. First, we will read creation myths, and then we will read trickster tales!
Tuesday - I will be sending the students home with half sheets of paper to fill out as they watch and listen to these legends. Each legend is about 3 - 4 minutes long. If you have trouble viewing these links please let me know.

We are going to be connecting these stories to our studies in writing and social studies. Towards the end of the unit, we will be performing plays. I will be filming these performances and will send you the link when we are finished! If you have any questions or concerns please contact me.
Sincerely,
Ms. Bakamis
