More Native American Study, Halloween and Whale Reading Buddies!
/The Sea Lions continued their exploration of Native American tribes of the Pacific Northwest this week. We had a special visit from Pacific historian and archivist Eva Guggemos. Ms. Eva shared the sad history of Pacific’s Indian School and the journey that Native American tribes were forced to make during the time of forced relocation.
We also talked about the history of Celilo Falls. We started our research by sharing examples of places that are revered in our own family. We talked about how important those places are and were saddened by the story of the destruction of such a revered place for Native Americans of the Pacific Northwest.
Halloween was loads of fun! We used our detective skills to solve riddles and puzzles and managed to get away from the clutches of the Evil Witch (Ms Ellie) during an Escape Room challenge.
We ended our week with a visit to the Forest Grove library to check out books for our Whale Reading Buddies. It was so much fun sharing stories with them. We have great ideas for how we’ll make changes to make our time together even better!
