Earlier this month, third grade students had the tremendous opportunity to build a tipi on Connor Quad under the guidance of author, storyteller, and tipi expert Robin Moore, who was named the National Storyteller of the Year and Author of the Year by the Pennsylvania School Librarians Association. This fall, third graders are engaged in learning about the Native Peoples who first walked the land that came to be known as the United States. They were thrilled to be able to wit...ness the construction of a tipi first-hand and learn about how those in the Lakota Nation in the Great Plains ingeniously made use of the resources they had available to them to craft this form of shelter. This experience is a highlight of the inquiry-based study that encourages students to ask questions and search for answers in creative and meaningful ways that reflect scholarship and a respect for differences.
