PreK students started Indigenous Peoples Day by being invited to reach into the three cauldrons and guess what they were feeling! Two were filled with dried beans and corn but the large one was filled with the gooey insides of a spaghetti squash. I had the students pick the seeds out of the mush. We heard a story about the Native American gardening technique known as three sisters. For math students used the dried beans and corn to create patterns during fine motor skills activities. For science that day we talked about what living things need and conducted an experiment planting seeds without these needs for observation.
