Kaya

This week we read the story of Kaya and learned all about her character traits, family, most treasured possession, and her unfortunate habit of boasting.  We learned all about how the Nez Perce lived including the whipwoman!  Maybe we should bring this tradition back : ).  We also learned about how the Nez Perce chose whom they would court.  It involved a stick!

While we listened to Kaya's adventures, we made leather cuffs.  I think they turned out pretty amazing.  

Also, speaking of amazing, the dioramas WERE to die for!  AWESOME job, everyone.  I was so impressed with your creativity in using all the items in the bag.  

And also good job on your oral story telling assignment.  If you have not finished either assignment, bring it in next week.  I'm always up for viewing a diorama.

Finally, next Thursday is our big HORSE FIELD TRIP!  I cannot wait.  

If you have not turned in your permission slip or fee, please have it in hand on Thursday morning at 9:50 SHARP!!!  Do not be late! We need to make it back for lunch, but also want to spend a lot of time with Merry and her horses.

And don't forget to bring a bike helmet.

If you no longer have the permission slip, I will have extras on hand.

Thank YOU!!
