Examples of Integration of Indian Eucation in an Elementary School Curriculum
Together we will look through past projects I have done in my classroom, activities we have done throughout our school and brainstorm ways for you to specifically integrate Indian Education into your classroom in a way that will resonate with your students. I do not have all the answers but I do believe if we work together we can create some excellent ideas.
