18 students had a busy meeting finalizing our H20 walk for life plan. We viewed a slide show about the school in Guatemala and answered many student questions. We're excited to work with the High School International Club and Spanish club on this project.
Starting our dream catcher project was the next order of business. We read the Dakota story of the dream catchers origins. One interesting point was that the webbing in the Dakota story caught the good letting the bad pass through. Ms. Hallin shared that in the Ojibwa version the webbing catches the bad and lets the good go through. We were interested to see that culturally the same object was viewed differently.
Our snacks for the day came from Mexico. We had cookies, pumpkin seeds and salty, spicy tamarind fruit snacks.
Our final activity was to move forward on our cultures of North America project.
