Native American Day




Each year, the Kindergarteners celebrate Native American Day right before Thanksgiving. It's a fun day where the kids get to learn about the Native Americans that helped out the Pilgrams. They learn things like hunting buffalo (which I think was Cameron's favorite part!) using little dowels with pencil erasers on the end for their spears; and gathering berries and trying a recipe made with those berries, and also about building a campfire. So they go and "collect" their fire wood and come back to the ring. All the kids dump their wood into the ring and sit down. Cameron looks at the pile and says, "Guys. That's not how you do it. You do it like this!"
Perhaps he's seen the technique before!
