International Day and Southwest Indians

International Day was a blast!

We liked making bear tooth necklaces. 

We made shields with emblems that we made up ourselves.

We made flags with 26 stars from Brazil.

We have been studying the Indians from the Southwest like the Anasazi and the Navajo and made sand art.

We also made petroglyphs by carving symbols like the Native Americans did a long time ago.

Stepping!

Today we went to see a step performance,called step Africa. There were hopping, millitary,and groove styles which were all combined to make stepping. You can find stepping at collage serorities and faterneties.

Igluviaks!

We are learning about the Inuits and so we built igluviaks also known as igloos!
