Native American Study Guide Matrix

Native American Assessments: Powhatan: Tues., Nov. 22th Lakota: Fri., Dec. 2nd Pueblo: Fri., Dec 9th

Dear Parents, Attached is a study guide, which includes information for all three Native Indian tribes. Students will have three separate assessments – one for each American Indian tribe. Please note the test dates above. Please use the study guide to review only that week’s American Indian tribe instead of all of the information at once.

Sincerely, The Second Grade Team Native American Assessments: Powhatan: Tues., Nov. 22th Lakota: Fri., Dec. 2nd Pueblo: Fri., Dec 9th
