I am a tile,
Made of clay,
I was found by some third graders,
I was dug in level 2 and square a,
I have some leaves,
Then all around me white dots sleep soundly and won’t wake up,
I am also a bird flying over the waves,
I have some flowers blue and white that like branches around them,

Native American Clothing of the Northeast

Introduction

I am studying Native Americans of the northeast. My category is clothing of the northeast about 500 years ago. I’m going to talk about what everyone wore, what women wore, what men wore, and what children wore. Also what the process of making clothing is, what types of shoes they wore, and what types of materials, special occasion and also what types of clothing did they wore in different seasons.

What They Wore

Women and men of the northeast wore a lot of clothing. Children didn’t wear so much. They wore some of the same types of clothing and some different types of clothing. Everyone wore deerskin clothing but also other types. They wore leggings and sometimes a blouse or vest. In the winter they wore fur robes and leggings. They wore rabbit skin mittens, gloves, coats, hoods, blankets, skirts, belts, and cloaks.

By Kate DiCamillo

Because of Winn-Dixie is a fun book to read for anyone. One reason I like it is because a girl cares so much about a stray dog to get in trouble with a manager of a store and adopt the dog. That’s how much she cares for dogs. One reason you should read it is because it teaches you a lesson. The lesson is even if people are different you should not call them names or not be nice to them. In the beginning Winn-Dixie did something funny in a grocery store which will make you laugh. At the end I thought this is one of the best books ever.

5-julia-i-am-from-artwork.jpegI am from me and my dad’s key lime pie. Buying all the ingredients. The key lime pie tastes delicious. It tastes so good it feels like I could eat the whole thing, it smells great but not as good as it tastes, you can see the yellow limes and mashed up grand crackers. Getting my favorite food California rolls.

I am from shopping for furniture, food on the weekends and once in a while getting cute clothing that I like. (Read on …)
