ALL IN FOR AG EDUCATION WEEK: CORN HUSK DOLLS
Throughout the coming days, we'll be sharing our students' amazing learning experiences from last week!
Students in the social studies classes of Mrs. Hayes had such a fun and meaningful day learning about Native American life before colonization. In honor of All in for Ag Education Week, students explored the “Three Sisters” – corn, beans, and squash – with a special focus on the importance of corn. After reading and discussing its role in Native cultures, students brought history to life by creating their own corn husk dolls (using tissue paper) and learning the stories and traditions behind them. 🌽
NEW YORK, NEW YEAR, NEW LEARNING
