Tangrams

We tried to make a square with seven tangram shapes. It was hard at first but we helped each other. Then we used our tangram shapes to make different animals.

The Native American Suprise

A Native American man came to our school. He showed us a lot of cool and neat things. He brought a real tepee and set it up in the gym. We learned that they wore wolf fur and hides to chase the buffalo off the cliffs. He shared with us that they couldn’t talk to other people who were not in their family because it was considered rude. They drank out of buffalo bladders, buffalo horns and buffalo stomachs. We also learned that they burned buffalo poop in their fires because it helped keep in the fire burning. We thought he was awesome!

Happy Halloween!

On Halloween we had a parade. Everyone lined up and walked around the school with their costumes on. At our Halloween party we played a game that you stuck an eye on a monster. We played mummy bowling. Our class made a craft that looked like a pumpkin fence. Also, we played toss the rings on the tag pole pumpkin. Our class played Halloween BINGO and we won gloves, cauldrons, socks and spider rings. We all had lot of FUN!
