Native American Day
Students at Timber Lake Elementary School observed Native American Day by participating in a variety of learning activities.
The Kindergarten students made feather headbands that they wore throughout the day. They listened and danced to Native American music. They also colored in their own Native American coloring books after discussing how Native Americans lived many years ago.
In Jeanette Reinbold’s first grade class, the youngsters made “owner sticks,” which were used to mark the place where possessions were left.
In Kay Nash’s second grade class the morning opened with reading class. Mrs. Nash read “The Gift of the Sacred Dog” to the students. The lesson for the day centered around stories which taught about Indian culture. Films on the Plains Indians and their traditions and way of life were viewed by the students. “The students enjoyed the activities and it was a wonderful learning experience for everybody,” Mrs. Nash said.
In Heidi Boldt’s third grade class and Tim Schuh’s fifth grade class, students brought in a variety of items related to Indian culture and history and told the class about them.
The Chapter I students and their teacher, Lyla Jacobs, read the legend, “How the Animals Got Their Colors.” The students learned about legends and each wrote a short legend.
Leone Mitchell’s fourth grade class viewed a segment of “South Dakota Outdoor Guide.” They listened to legends told about buttes on the Standing Rock Reservation. They also heard about a summer trail ride that was organized by Blaine Nordvold for youth on the reservation. After a discussion of what they had seen and heard, the students talked about winter counts, They chose one event from each of their years. They made a picture of this on brown paper in the shape of a tanned deerskin for their personal winter count.
The sixth grade students had a display table of items such as arrowheads, beaded jewelry, hair pins, bone needles, shawls, leggings, hammerheads, charts and a variety of books on famous Native Americans. They read a play written by Randi Aberle. It was a short skit on Sacajawea, and Jaci Lenling read a poem titled “Crazy Horse.”
