Wampum Weaving
Wampum Weaving
Students learned about wampum and its significance in the Haudenosaunee Confederacy. They learned about the exchanging of wampum at the end of a parley between the indigenous people and European nations in North America during the 18th century. They thought about symbols, colors, and peace between peoples of our nation. Students were then challenged to create a wampum belt that would signify their promise to show unity, peace, respect, and empathy to all people of our nation or the world.
The Indigenous People of North America
The Indigenous People of North America
Students learn about cultural differences between the Native Americans and Europeans. We learned that differences in culture does not make one group superior to the other. It can lead to clashes based on preconceived ideas, prejudices, and goals, but also lead to opportunities of cooperation and learning. What path will the Natives and Europeans take?
Team Lynx archeologists went to work today observing and collecting data to determine the type and age of Native American projectile points found in Pennsylvania.

9/11 We Will Never Forget
2021 As we reach the 20th anniversary of 9/11, my students reflected on the days following those tragic events of September 11, 2001. We discussed the contagious unity of our people. How we stood in solidarity to rise above and combat terrorism. Today we took a pledge to engage in acts of kindness, and give words of encouragement to each other in memory of those who lost their lives and those who fought to protect us. We will never forget. #UnitedNotDivided
