INDIAN Day!!

Jadon's Third Grade Class of Indians :)
This is such a fantastic group of kids - we are so grateful for the friendships that Jadon has in this class!

Another wonderful event that recently took place in Jadon's 3rd grade class! Each student has been learning about a specific parts of one Indian tribe. Jadon researched the Wichita Indians and specifically about their shelters. It was very educational and interesting for all of us. Then they had Indian Day last week. Each 'indian' presented the information that he or she had learned about their tribe to the parents and other students. They also enjoyed lots of fun activities and yummy food.

Footraces were lots of fun and help them expend some of their extra energy! Smart teacher! That ominous sky is misleading - the day turned out beautiful for the most part.

This one almost made it on the target!!
It was another one of those days that will not be forgotten. These activities sometimes stress me out because they require a lot of parental work and time, but when they are over I am always so thankful for a school that provides such great memories and opportunities for learning to be so exciting and real.
