This Indigenous Peoples Day, our 1st and 4th graders came together for a special celebration of culture and learning! They spent time connecting and playing a fun and strategic math game called Picaria. Picaria, a traditional Native American game, challenged students problem-solving skills and critical thinking as they learned to block opponents and plan their moves. It was wonderful to see the older students guiding their younger peers, fostering a spirit of teamwork and cultural appreciation. What a memorable way to honor Indigenous traditions and make math engaging for everyone!
