Happening this week –
Cultural Arts- On Wednesday, February 8 we will hold a special all-day in-house field trip for the fourth grade. Journeys into Native American Territories will bring the culture of Native Americans of New York and the Eastern Woodlands to life in a hands-on learning experience. Students will create their own traditional-style clay pot, play games that Native American children their age once played, examine artifacts, learn an ancient song and dance, and walk through a model longhouse. This program supplements our fourth grade curriculum and will provide a deeper knowledge and understanding of the first peoples of New York. We are very excited for the program and hope to continue it annually.
