Family Field Trip




Today we had the unique opportunity to celebrate American Indian Heritage Celebration day at the NC Museum of History. The kids were thrilled to see some of the things we studied earlier this year come to life.


The loud drums and singing were a bit too much for Caleb and Jacob.


Traditional bead work


Woodworking tools and weapons


Basket weaving


Learning how to write words in Cherokee

Making Sassafras tea bags

Clay work



Picnic lunch while we enjoyed more traditional music and dancing

How fun!!! It is always so great to be able to see things up close after learning about them! Sometime, you'll have to show me a picture of Ben's Cherokee writing! Love you all!
