Our teepee



Being the industrious little beavers we are, we also built a teepee today in the backyard. We talked about how the Native Americans wrote in symbols and we wrote our own code. We used the code to write this story on the outside of our teepee:

"The USA and her allies fought the Germans and Japanese. The Navajo windtalkers made a code that could not be broken. They helped the USA and her allies achieve victory."





We scavenged some fallen branches from a local park to use as teepee poles. I think we should have used more than three.



We fastened them at the top and them tied on our covering:
