Tuesday was our Wampanoag Day in Brody's 1st Grade class. The kids had such a great time learning about what the kids did in the Wampanoag Village. Of course the kids didn't paint trees on walls way back then, but Mrs. Swails (aka Danelle) painted the kids hands in fall colors to add some color to our lush tree filled walls!
We constructed fire pits with tree stakes in the middle of their desks...the twigs were collected from a hike that Brody, Kenny and Sammi took through Yucaipa Community Park last week!
Brody was trying to be a little Wampanoag and crack a shelled hazelnut with a wooden hammer!
I had to jump in the shot with my little guy! I spent the morning working the "nut cracking" corner! The kids enjoyed a feast of nuts (that they cracked on their own), strawberries, blueberries, corn, pinto beans and water! While they enjoyed their feast, Mrs. Solis played actual dilect from one of the last known members of the Wampanoag tribe! The kids loved to listen to it and heard the man say "cucumba" (aka cucumber), and now they can't stop laughing at that word! Silly kids.
Brody, Kenny and Tyler all posed with their indian headdress with their painted symbols that they chose. Such a great day they won't soon forget!
