Native American Legends: Quillworker, Buffalo Dance, The Legend of the Bluebonnet

Love this classic Waldorf second grade block! All of my notes for planning & teaching Native American Legends are on my Waldorf Curriculum website, plus lists of the books that I haven't used yet but would like to in the future.

Great Plains

Biome

If you want to be able to make beautiful biome maps of North America, invest in the Waseca Biomes North America Stencil and Map Legend Stamp.

For a less expensive route that will give you the biomes of North America AND all of the other continents besides, the Complete Set of Control Charts for the Biome Puzzles is just $25.00.
