Hey everyone! Last week I really enjoyed learning more about the Native American culture. I had not heard of the communication problems with sign language between various tribes. When I was in elementary school, I remember Native Americans from a reservation that visited our school to perform a Pow Wow. It was really interesting to see the diverse ethnic values and norms, interpreted from the reservation. I also found the multiple intelligences information influential. I think it is important to teach subject matter in all of the multiple intelligences. Everyone learns differently, by doing different activities with the students, they will discover their strengths and weaknesses.
(FACS major)It is important to enforce a portion of regional cultural diversity in the classroom.A few ideas that I have for my classroom is to take a few days or a week to create Native American meals and clothing. I will establish a fun lesson plan that will involve the classroom participation. A few examples may be creating moccasins and finding and creating recipes from the Native American culture.

thanks and see you tomorrow!
