Totem Poles

Fourth graders learned about the origin of totem poles, their purpose and discussed stylized art.   They played a game where they had to guess which animal the stylized image was representing.  They were quite good!  Students were then split up into teams and discussed what they wanted their totem pole to represent.  Each student was in charge of creating one section of the totem pole. I was able to display some on actual poles throughout the school!  I was impressed at how creative the fourth graders were!
