Lenape Indian and American Culture

Hi Third Graders!  I hope you are having a great spring break.  I thought we could start a discussion about the Lenape Indians and how their culture is similar and different from ours.  When we get back from break, we’ll be able to share our venn diagram projects with each other.  Please remember that when you post, you need to write in complete sentences with proper capitalization and punctuation.  Thanks!
