Olmec History by Valentina and Rigby

Over the last few weeks the third and fourth graders have been working on a group research project in Native Peoples. This unit we studied three Mesoamerican civilizations called the Olmec, Maya and Aztec. Each group had to research various facts about the assigned civilizations by using resources such as the internet and books found at the Sunnyside Public Library. Together they worked on a poster where all the information was put into detailed paragraphs describing the various elements of the civilization like agriculture, homes, beliefs, art, clothing and games.

Food/agriculture, clothing, and beliefs and traditions were categories they found about the Olmecs.
