Native Americans

Last visit to the center we looked at Native American culture.  Residents played a Native American stick game and learned about the Spokane Indian Reservation in Washington.  This all to prepare for the read aloud The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian by Sherman Alexie.  The students really enjoyed this story - we read the first three chapters out loud together.  The drawings inside induced many giggles!

This book makes a great read aloud.  The YIC Library was fortunate enough to have 2 available copies plus a copy of Sherman Alexie's The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven.  All 3 of these books were "checked out" by the end of the program.

Success!

Stay tuned.  I know there was much delay (which I apologize for) but the latest 2 issues of What's Up? magazine will be showcased here on the web VERY soon!
