Grades 1 & 2: Tribal Redo

Grades 1 and 2 learned why tribes in New Guinea create different masks for different occasions.  In our class, we wrote about a compelling reason for creating our own masks and indicated at least 3 parts of the mask that were related to our reason.  Some of us made a mask that would bring good luck, health, safe travel, protection, etc to our families.  Some samples of decorative items were:  combination locks (ears) to symbolize protection, huge 3D eyes with which to see our families and spend time with them or even lucky 4 leaf clovers as eyes.  Our next stop is Madagascar where we will meet a very special species!
