5th Graders were paired up and given a Cherokee Clan that they were responsible for researching and creating a mask out of paper mache. We are in the stages of finishing up this project. They did an awesome job, this is the first group of students who presented.

4th Grade learned about Totem Poles and what they represent, then we designed our own. Students chose if their Totem Pole would represent themselves or their family. Then they chose animals from their research as to which animal they felt represented each person. After their Totem Pole and research were complete, we presented them to our classmates. These were really good and some got creative, which we loved! Some were funny and some were super sweet! Ask your 4h grader about their Totem Pole!

We are preparing for the language competition at the beginning of March. We have been memomorizing animals, foods, colors, body parts and people! They work exceptionally hard in Club and on their own to prepare. Since some of my kids are little, I have created games and flash cards to help them with memorizing words.

Club members have been preparing the the langauge competition. They have been memorizing the Cherokee Syllabary and Cherokee colors. Last week, we made flash cards for each color and are planning on using those as study tools!

• 7th Grade Native American Studies is currently doing a book study over The Education of Little Tree. Students are reading the book together and answering questions over what they have read.
• 8th Grade Native American Studies is currently doing a group project and presentation over the 7 Clans. Students created posters and power points, and presented them to their classmates.

Cherokee language students are currently learning an abundance of words from the Cherokee Language Manual. Students quiz weekly over new words learned.

On February 10, 2023, James Callie was brought into our MS Native American Studies courses and HS Cherokee courses to give his JOM Cultural Enrichment presentation to our students!
