Dear Parents,
Our MLL students will continue reading and learning about Native American practices that influence our lives today. In the last newsletter, I asked you to discuss and research with your child why gardeners plant beans, squash, and corn together.
Today, I want you to explore the following links and locate 5 regions on the map where Native Americans lived in North and South America in the 1400s.
