As part of their yearlong study of early America, third graders spent the morning with educators from Earth Spirit, who shared Iroquois history, traditions, customs, and artifacts with the students, including the tale about why the Iroquois' corn husk dolls have no faces! The students sang songs, heard legends, and used tool artifacts during several hands-on demonstrations. After some Iroquois games in the gym, students headed outside to learn more about how the Iroquois used plants for healing and food. The students are thrilled that Earth Spirit will visit them again during their tipi sleepover in the spring!
