Manhasset fourth graders from Shelter Rock Elementary School furthered their understanding of Native American culture and history by participating in the educational program, Journeys into American Indian Territory on Dec. 14 and 15. The program was brought to the school through the Manhasset School Community Association (SCA).
During the two days, fourth grade classes participated in different workshop sessions about Native American life, led by the Journey’s staff. A Shelter Rock classroom was transformed into a Native American museum where the fourth graders explored artifacts and received a closer look at Native American culture. In addition, students learned traditional Native American games and stories.
The experience was a great way to complement what the fourth graders learned in their social studies classes and allowed them to develop a stronger appreciation for Native American history and culture.
