Students in Ms. Whitney’s History Through Film class recently watched The Patriot, which quickly became a class favorite!

Instead of their usual film analysis essay, students had the opportunity to show off their creativity by designing their own movie posters. Throughout the film, students took notes and discussed historical accuracies and inaccuracies. Their posters included a film summary, important characters, and whether they would recommend the movie to others.

It’s always great to see students getting excited about history while showing off their creativity!

Mrs. Flaten's students celebrated Indigenous Peoples Day by reading "Bowwow Powwow" by Brenda Childs. The students learned about powwows, the dancers and drummers. Lori Williams was kind enough to let students try beating her homemade deerskin drum. They loved the unique sound that represents a beating heart! Thank you Ms. Lori!

Mrs. Johnson and Ms. Dilley's 4th grade classes spent the day together learning about traditional Dakota and Ojibwe beadwork and designed their own using grid paper. They also spent the afternoon learning how to play the games Miskwaadesi & Makwa and Mii Gwech.

For Indigenous Peoples' day, Mr. Gangl and Mr. Adam tag teamed a lesson on maple syrup and wild rice. Students were actually able to try both foods and understand the process to create/harvest each. This next spring, we will be tapping trees on the school property to make our own syrup!
