Thanks to Mr. Lovell for sharing his beautiful authentic dream catcher with the class today. He bought it from a Sioux Indian in Oklahoma 20 years ago. We learned that Native Americans searched for a way to help children have pleasant dreams because they were having nightmares. The influence of a spider gave a shaman the idea to create a web to "capture" the bad dreams. We tried our hand at making our own dream catchers this afternoon. We watched a YouTube video for assistance as we began to work. Tomorrow, we will add beads, feathers and paint.
