1st Grade is Traditional

After the teacher's field trip to Calcedeaver, the children enjoyed hearing about the Native American Traditions. They loved seeing the photos of the dancers in their beautiful clothing, the village that was set up with the different types of homes, and the toys that were hand-made. After talking about the Native American's traditions, we talked about our family's Thanksgiving traditions. Each child interviewed a relative to find out their family's traditions at Thanksgiving time. We made a podcast about our Thanksgiving traditions. Then we started talking about our December holiday traditions. The children made a beautiful quilt with pictures showing their holiday traditions in December. After viewing the third grade field trip to The American Village, we will compare now to long ago. Then the children will make a flip book comparing clothing, transportation, games and toys from now and long ago.
