Diorama

Lizzy is in 3rd Grade and as a 3rd Grader they are asked to do a report and a Diorama on an Indian Tribe. At first we wanted the Cherokee Tribe, since Bo's side of the family has Cherokee. But, it was already taken. So after a few phone calls to grandparents, we found out that Bo's side of the family also has Seminole. So, Lizzy asked her teacher if she could do her report, etc., on the Seminole Tribe and she said yes. We found lots of information on them. Lizzy had fun learning about what they did, ate, hunted, etc. Our last part of the project was making a Diorama! They were not allowed to use any plastic figurines so everything had to be molded. We started last Friday by making the floor and molding a few things. We finished the project on Tuesday night. Lizzy and Bo spent several hours together, painting and building the hut or "checkee" that Seminole Indian's lived in! It was GREAT to see them spend time together and learn from each other. Here is the finished project! Not bad!!!! Seminole Inidans eventually moved to the Florida Everglades. So that is why you see an Alligator and a Snake! Bo molded the alligator and painted him. He is an AWESOME artist!!!

The fat indian in the canoe is what I molded! I am not as artistic as Bo or Lizzy!!! But we still had fun!!!!
