K-4 Students Celebrate Indigenous People's Day

 
On October 14, 2024, our elementary students gathered with the rest of their grade level peers to celebrate Indigenous People's Day with their specialist teachers. At NLS elementary, specialists include; art, music, physical education, & STEAM.  Our Kindergarten through 4th grade students learned about Ojibwe and Dakota cultures in MN.
 
They heard a story about the three sisters method, a traditional Native American agricultural technique that involves planting corn, beans, and squash together in a symbiotic relationship. Then they were able to sample some corn in the popped form! We want to give a huge thank you to the Spicer Cinema for their generous contribution of popcorn which helped make our Indigenous People’s Day celebration extra special.
