The 4/5's Hopes and Goals for the year.

 

 

Students determined their goals for this year and created original Dreamcatchers.

Legend has it that the Dreamcatcher can be used to help reach goals by capturing and making use of good ideas, dreams, and visions that slip through the center hole, while bad dreams, ideas, and thoughts become entangled in the web.

 

Everyone loves a good book!

13 Moons on Turtle's Back

 

For each of the thirteen scales on a turtle's shell, there is a Native American moon legend.

Many Native Americans children are taught to examine the segments on the back of every turtle. There are thirteen large segments which represent the thirteen moons, which make up the lunar year. By counting the smaller segments around the lower edge of the shell, you will find there are 28 segments, which represents the 28 days between             new moons.

 

 

Students created 13 Moons Turtle rattles, with turtle's shell on one side and one of the 13 moons on the other.
