Growing Native, our integrated learning theme for this school year is culminating in a Comanche Game for the Tiger class.  Our village was burned down by the Utes, so we had to build new shelters.  We relocated the village at the owl tree.  
The morning we moved our village, the horses across the creek showed an interest in our efforts.  Later that day they were back.  They fit right into our role play.  After building the village, the students mapped the area and included the Rancherios (the tree houses in the Eastern Woods) where the Comanches will go to trade or raid.

Our poetry month work culminated with a visit from Jim Parker.  Jim worked with all our classes, inspiring the love of poetry as we responded to art and music.  We had a great woodland poetry slam in the afternoon.
Other notable events were our field trip to the Meadows Center (where we explored a wetland and took a glass bottom boat excursion), Earth Day and May Day.  On Earth Day, we serenaded the earth with song, planted two peach trees and tie dyed t-shirts. We had a May Day Market event on campus May 1st.  Our class set up the Dandelion Cafe.  We served dandelion brownies, cookies and dandelion tea, which we loving prepared.
We are now in the final days of the semester, putting finishing touches on Independent Study projects, rehearsing our play, and writing our Comanche stories.  The days are flying past.
