We will keep your child until 3:00 if you can not get to school by 2:00.

Heading home and ETA

We should arrive back at Hammond about 2:00pm. We have had a fabulous trip and can't wait to share all our experiences and memories. Look at all the sleepy students on the buses!

A Great End to Day Two

Mr. Mancke telling the students a story. What a great way to end the day! We wish he could tell us s'more stories all night long!

Surprise Guest

Look who joined our afternoon meeting! Do you think he is a Cherokee or Pioneer?

Pioneers to Cherokee Village

It seems like our Pioneers are beginning to understand life as a Cherokee.  Our morning was filled with hard work and fun while experiencing empathy for others who are different from us. This afternoon we will come together as Pioneers and Cherokees to learn a bit more about what it's like to live together cooperatively. 

Day 2 with the Cherokee Children

After the decision at the Council Meeting to vote off one of the groups, we decided to switch places to figure out who would have to leave. Today the Cherokee children are learning about the Pioneer way of life. We are making candles, preparing lunch, feeding the animals, spinning the wool and black smithing.

Council Meeting Decision

After over an hour of heated debate a decision has been reached.  Tomorrow, after a hearty breakfast the Pioneer children will work in the Cherokee Village.  In turn the Cherokee children will learn from the Pioneer elders.  In order to gain an understanding and respect of each others ways we hope to learn the importance of appreciating and respecting each other's differences.  Until tomorrow...
