Ganohonyohk

Sge:noh

All students have been practicing reciting the short version of Ganohonyohk. Those that already know this version have been a great help to other students who are just learning. In December all students will have the opportunity to recite Ganohonyohk to me for their final mark in this unit. Even my grade 4, 5, & 6 students are learning Ganohonyohk with some great results. Keep up the good work!
