A Week for the Arts!

This week we really dove into understanding Native American culture. We read a book about a young boy's artistic talent, and then tried out our own abilities. We painted sunsets on "buffalo hide" (paper bag). The students can tell you the long process of preparing the hide, which took us 2 days! This week we also took part in the telling of a Cherokee Legend, "How the Red Bird got its Color." The students used instruments to help me tell the story.

I began teaching math this past week, as well. We are off to a great start. It took a few days, but I think we are beginning to adjust to each other. You and your students can be working on math facts at home. I will be sending out some helpful practise worksheets this week.

We hope to see you at Literacy Night on Tuesday March 1. See you then!
