Today we were treated by Mrs. Neiter from Orchard Elem. and Mr. Barcus from Riverside Middle School along with some 4th grade students from Orchard. They came and taught us a couple of Indian Games that were tradition back in the early days. The games were called the "Scream Game" & "Double Ball". Before even playing they gave the students a bit of history on the games, how they are made from things in nature, and how each game symbolizes something. Ask your child what they learned about each game. Then we went outside and got to play each of them. The students did great and had a lot of fun working independently for one and as a team for the other. Ask them what they learned today about them and which was their favorite and write it in the planner for free money. Also, it was very kind of the students who came to give each of them a stick that they used in the "run & scream" game.
In Lead 21, we started our Book Club book-Riding Freedom. Students used their strategies to predict so ask them what they predict the book will be about. I will give more on this book as we start reading it.
We started our West Region tour today visiting a location we already knew lots about. If they can tell you it, write it in the planner.
Remember to return Library books for tomorrow as well as permission slips for Pompey's Pillar which is on Friday, May22nd.
Have a great night.
