Tipi Dan

This is a "back blog" since this event occurred in September but I had to share since Tipi Dan always makes such a strong impact on our third graders.  Tipi Dan shares information about Native American culture but the underlying message of the day is the importance of respect and teamwork.  The children spend time looking at artifacts and learning about Native American culture.  In the end, they work as a team building a tipi and learn the importance of working together to accomplish a goal.  The educators reported that the children were mesmerized by his teaching!
