Native American Day

Friday at Kendall's school they finished their two week study of the Wampanoag's with a Native American Day.

They started it off with "War Shield's with Dads". The week before her teacher sent home five construction paper feathers and Ryan and I had to write five things we love or were thankful for about Kendall. Then that morning all the Dads joined their Kindergartner's to make a War Shield with those feathers. Kendall told Ryan as he was reading them to her that "loved what we wrote" and kept telling Ryan to "keep reading". It was so sweet.

The vest that she is wearing is a t-shirt that she stamped in class the week before .

After that all the classes rotated through all the other classrooma doing different crafts and continuing to learn about the Native Americans.

She came home with all kinds of stuff. She made a Dream Catcher, an Indian Baby with papoose (what the Indian mommy carried their babies in), and much more. All of it is now hanging all over her room.

I can not say enough praise for her school. She loves her teacher and has made tons of new friends. She loves going to school and amazes us all the time with what she is learning.
