Park Rangers Visits WES
On April 8, kindergarten through fifth grade Dragons got a visit from Park Ranger Karin Magera from the National Park Service. Kindergarteners and first graders listened to The First Blade of Sweetgrass by Suzanne Greenlaw and Gabriel Frey, a story about a Wabanaki girl who is excited to accompany her grandmother for the first time to harvest sweetgrass for basket making, and participated in a weaving activity. Grades 2 and 3 learned what would happen If the Statues Could Talk, a story from the French colony of 1604-05.
