This month our Mohawk & Cayuga students are working on Heritage Fair Projects. Our focus this year is on Six Nations and the Haudenosaunee People. Students are working either in pairs or individually to produce an information display board about their particular topic.
Some topic ideas are: Clans/Clan Mothers, Six Nations, Environmental Issues, Longhouses, Languages, Famous People, Sports, Lacrosse, Traditional Songs, Drums, Rattles, Corn, various artists and many others.
Display Boards are being provided by funding from Home & School. In May we will be having a Heritage Fair in the gym that students, parents and community members will be invited to!
Students are expected to collect information at home, from the library and the internet and bring in related information for their projects. Students will have an opportunity to work in the computer lab and classrooms. This is a "IN-CLASS PROJECT" and students are given daily marks for their work ethic in class. Ask your child about their topic and if they need help finding information. We know that parents can be an excellent resource for information about Six Nations.
Projects are due Wednesday, April 30, 2008.
