3rd Grade Native American Plays

Submitted by trisha.olsen on

The third graders at East Meadows Elementary have recently been learning about Native American Culture.  On Wednesday, December 8, each class performed a play depicting the culture of Native Americans.  Mrs. Barton’s class performed “The Birth and Creation of the Corn God.”  Mrs. McQuivey’s class did, “A Possum’s Tail.”  Mrs. Bigg’s class dazzled us with “The Strongest One.”  Mrs. Mecham’s class acted out “The Cannibal Monster--A Tlingit Legend” and Mrs. Wilson’s class performed “The Glusabe and Old Man Winter.”  Leading up to this culminating event, students had previously learned the meaning of legends, made pottery out of play dough, and created teepees out of paper.
