Edin and Galen.Edin lives in Room 8...Edin is the one in the Lqallugsusqaq T-shirt. Um? I have no idea what that means...I'll have to ask Edin tomorrow.
Today, these adorable twins' mother, Lacey, and their sweetheart sister, Leslie, came into Room 8 to teach us how to tie knots. Knots are a big part of their life because they fish in Alaska during the summer months.
Room 8 was extremely excited for their turn to learn. Each student is making a small poster with all the knots they're learning to tie.
Before starting centers, (we divided up into 4 centers...each student did 2 centers today, and will do two tomorrow), Lacey gave us a little history of knots and showed us how to make a net. Watch:

ReplyDeleteRoom 8 is lucky to have parents that come in and share their skills as well as their time- A big thanks to the Berns family!
We are having so much fun showing room 8 how to tie knots. I am very excited to come back and show the rest of the class today! I can't wait to see some of the kids tie the "carrick bend" -- a knot that I don't know how to tie. They are so excited and curious about the mechanics and beauty of knots..what fun. See you soon, Lacey
