2nd grade teacher, Hardin Primary School
My second grade class recently did some fun and educational projects related to the Crow tribe. First, each child found and plotted each reservation in Montana. Of course, the class was the most excited and interested in the Crow Reservation!
Next each child made a Crow tribal flag. As we colored each part we discussed what it represented. Then we cut out the circular part in the middle and mounted it on royal blue. Finally, the children trimmed their flags with gold glitter. The flags looked beautiful displayed in the hall and classroom.
The last project was spurred by receiving "Honor the Circle" wristbands
from our behaviorist, Mrs. Bauman. The first day we discussed what
that meant and what each of the four different colors stood for. The
"Honor the Circle" theme is based on the historic Native American
medicine wheel with four colors representing the unity of:
* All races: white, yellow, red, black
* All stages of life: birth, childhood and adolescence, adulthood, old age and death
*All directions: north, east, south, west
This theme teaches children and adults that we all must take
responsibility for our behaviors and decisions. They affect us, others
and future generations. The next day we discussed what we could do to
honor the circle.
Each
child received a round piece of paper and wrote about what they were
going to do to honor the circle. These were bound together into a
class book.
Later, one of my boys acted inappropriately. Mrs.
Bauman took him to our book hanging up in the hall and explained how
that was not honoring the circle. He said, "I'm never going to do that
again!"
All the children's work was displayed in the hall for all to see.
Pay much more attention to the current social events and have your own idea to change these unhealthy ways and customs.

ReplyDeleteWe should give children the courage and confidence, and help them to develop, as the Oxford University and Leo prexy Smith 1919 to British prime minister's letter writing: "open-minded, acute, love truth, can resist irrational belief, sophisticated, stale and sensationalistic".
