Field Trip to WSU Women's Basketball Game

Veteran's Day

Weaving Headbands

Nature Center

We liked to sit around the fire and learn about how the Indians gathered and ate their food.  We even got to ground some corn for ourselves, and then they made us corn cakes. 

After "snack" we went and learned how they used the yucca for needle and thread and how they used various kinds of plants to make tools and medicines.

Then we made it to the Teepee.  We learned about the various roles that men and women had in the tribe.  The women were the leaders and owned the homes.  GIRL POWER!  Men weren't chiefs until the European settlers came and wanted to talk to men.  (Whatever!) 

Our guide told us story about how the coyote got its name using a real coyote skin.

Then we went back and looked at all the birds and finally the bird houses on our way out.

Cutting Up!

Volunteers brought in some pumkins for us to carve.  We counted all the seeds -- well over 2,000.  Then we worked within out team to decide how to carve our pumpkins.  It was tons of fun!

Basketball

The Weber State Women's Basketball team came to give the students some pointers on how to play basketball.  Weber State,  Weber State, GREAT, GREAT, GREAT!
