Some Native American Tribes used to use a decorated feather during meetings and discussions to allow everyone a chance to speak their mind without being interrupted. The children had a chance to try it out during small groups and take their own feather home.
We worked on the sight word, some, this week in reading groups. We also learned about the different types of homes that Native Americans lived in long ago.
We were astounded at the turnout at our art show again this year. The children have been working so hard over the past two months on all of their masterpieces and we were so excited to see all of the families come out and celebrate their accomplishments with them! It’s amazing what children can accomplish when given the opportunity and the right tools. We are so very proud of each and every one of them. It was their night to shine and we were honored to be a part of if. A BIG thank you to Ms. Penny who helped create such wonderful art experiences for our students in the preschool and pre-k classes. Her enthusiasm and excitement for teaching children about art and the famous artists that came before us sparks the imagination of our young students in a way that makes them feel like anything is possible at any age.
We learned last week how some Native Americans, long ago, used to use large tree trunks to carve into boats, called canoes. We also reviewed the symbols that some native americans used to communicate and tell stories. We incorporated some of these symbols onto our own canoes during small groups.
