Friday, February 7

The Great Law of Peace was an important part of the Iroquois Confederacy.  To help us better understand this, we listened to a story that explained how Hiawatha and the Peacemaker showed the 5 nations (Oneida, Seneca, Cayuga, Onondaga, Mohawk) that rather than fighting against each other, they were stronger when they worked together.  

It is about one month until Outdoor School.  In preparation for this, all 3 grade 6 classes got together in the gym and participated in some team building activities.  It was great to see the teamwork, cooperation and communication  that happened in each of the groups as you met the challenges you were presented with. 

We checked on our tomatoes.  We haven't had any new L seeds germinate for a few days, but we have had a few more M seeds germinate recently.

We also had a little time to work on our questions related to the Iroquois.

Friday journals are coming home today.  Our day finished with Thank You Friday.
