From Mrs. Stover!

Mrs. Stover has created an animoto video to share with you  about a lesson on an Apache folktale.
"Students listened to some Native American flute on a recording by R. Carlos Nakai and then responded to the music in their music journal by writing, drawing or a combination of both with the instruction to write about or draw the picture that the music paints in your head as you listen." Mrs. Stover

Pilgrim activity day

Thank you to all our parent volunteers who helped us prepare for our feast. We made necklaces, belts, pockets, napkins, and placemats to use at Rocky Woods. We hope to see you Friday! 

Busy making necklaces. Our necklaces will represent wampum at Rocky Woods.
We made pockets to put on our belts. Pilgrim men, women, and children would use pockets to keep flint for starting fires and marbles for playing games in their pockets. Our pocket will hold the napkin we use at the feast. 

Did you know that the pilgrims ate mostly with their fingers? It was important for them to have their napkin. We made our napkins with stamping.

Making placemats! It was hard to hard to do all that weaving!
Our last activity was belt braiding. Our belt will be used to hold our pocket! Yes we all learned how to braid!





Spirit day

Go Red Sox! We loved showing our spirit!

Pilgrims vs. Wampanoags.


How were the Pilgrims and Wampanoags similar and different? Using an interactive Scholatic tour we compared and contrasted daily life. We learned about the English Village vs. wetu, types of clothing, food, chores, games, and school! 
After using the Scholastic tour we began doing our own comparing and contrasting!





Go SOX!

Tomorrow is Red Sox day! Make sure to wear your team spirit!
