For Social Studies today we talked about our American Heritage. We learned about Chief Plenty Coup, a great Crow leader, who taught his people how important it is to get a good education. The children enjoyed that he learned to be a strong, agile runner by chasing butterflies when he was young. We also read a beautiful book called Brother Eagle, Sister Sky and talked about taking good care of our earth. Then we ended our day by skipping afternoon centers to get ready early to leave by way of the tipi set up south of the school. We quietly sat in a circle inside the tipi and talked about how it is constructed, and why it could move easily to follow or find buffalo herd, and what it would b like to live, eat and sleep in that kind of home.
Life is Good when I get to read two wonderful stories in one day and have a real tipi for the children to experience!
The rest of the week should be busy with two birthdays, and an early dismissal at 12:00 noon on Thursday. Tickets will be on sale for Saturday Live, and you can also sign up to help our PTA with the Meadowlark blow up slide and selling tiarra's. Saturday Live is a fun family outing that supports our schools! I won't be able to be there this year, but have enjoyed the atmosphere and fundraising in the past.
Your children are a joy to work with! Thank you for reading our communications and letting us know how things are going from your child's point of view! It's going to be a wonderful year!
Sincerely, Carol Clapper
