Minnesota Mike

A famous archaeologist came to our classroom yesterday. Was it Indiana Jones? Nope, it was Minnesota Mike!

Mike Magner is an archaeologist for the Minnesota DNR and he came to our room to talk about the history of Minnesota. The 5th graders made a living timeline as they learned about our land thousands of years ago. Mike brought in spears, an atlatl, stone tools, bones, and pottery to show the different ways people have made tools through the years.

This ties right in to our current history unit on the ancient Americans.
