Native American Heritage Day

Today we had a theme that involved the whole building.

Native American Heritage Day


When considering what to do for this day, I decided against making headdresses because I didn't know enough about Native American symbols. Instead I devised a matching game between symbols and their definitions I think it was much more meaningful, pun intended.

For example, a horse is a symbol for a journey. We speculated as to why a bear track would be a symbol of a good omen, where you put a symbol of a shaman's eye to denote medicine, and how arrowheads (for alertness) and still used -> today.

It was interesting to think about symbols as much more than decoration.
