We have been busy builders around here, first helping Destiny with her Chickee Hut, then Tylan with his church building. It was Community Helper Week in Kindergarten, and Friday was ”What I Want To Be When I Grow Up” day. He wanted to be an Insurance Agent just like Daddy. {awwww!}
Now, Destiny wants to tell you about her Indian Report and Chickee Hut:
Hi, it’s Destiny. I haven’t gotten to do a blog post FOREVER. Here is the last one, Pax was just a baby back then!!!!
Mom said I can do one like that again soon, but for today, I want to tell you about this Chickee Hut daddy, mommy and I made for school.
Daddy did the posts for the house, and I helped him with the roof. Mommy helped me the most with the accessories, like the fire and meat, and the people’s clothes. Her favorite part was the palm trees with pretzel rod trunks, don’t tell her I said this, but she said she was a genius. It made me giggle.
My favorite part is the alligator sneaking up on the dad Indian, and the baby turtle hiding in the bushes!
Here are some photos of my Chickee Hut:
The Seminole Indians are from Florida. Their house is on stilts because it will help keep the alligators, snakes, turtles and other swamp animals out. They don’t have walls because its warm climate, but when it rained, they rolled down tarps to keep the rain out.
The wives did the harvesting and cooking. They used to hang their babies in swings from the rafters to keep them happy while they cook supper. They harvested beans, corn and squash. The men did fishing, and hunting animals like alligators, snakes, deer, and rabbits.
Story telling is VERY important to these Indians.
Bye! Destiny

Hi Destiny,
I loved your post it looked amazing and was full of information as well keep up the good work!
Your brother sure looks handsome as an insurance agent.
Destiny… you did a fabulous job!!! How fun and what a great story! Keep up the VERY good work!
What a nice chickee! I am searching on ideas for building a chickee in our 3-6 year old classroom. Would you be willing to share some tips on this cute chikit!
Thank you! 🙂 We had fun making it. We just used dowel rods and hot glue to make the structure, Dale did all the measuring and cutting for us. The fun part was the details like the pretzel rod tree trunks, and the man with the ax cutting down wood, getting ready to get chomped by a swamp critter. Destiny liked that we had the wife cooking over the fire, and her baby swinging from the rafters, as this was specifically mentioned in all the books we read.
Have fun!
