Somers Mountain Native American Visit

        On the Monday that we got back from our February break, the Native Americans from Somers Mountain in Massachusetts are came to our classrooms!  The children will learned traditional songs and used turtle rattles, touched and experienced uses of animal hide and bones, and made their own cornhusk doll.  All this before lunch!  In the afternoon, the students gathered in the gym to watch the traditional Penobscot Hoop Dance and listen to creation stories from different regions of the United States.  An experience to remember!
