Third Grade had a great time at the Chumash Indian Museum last Thursday. We sang, played games, and listened to stories told by our tour guide Gray Wolf as he taught us about life in a Chumash Village.  Here is a video of some 3rd and 4th graders singing a traditional Chumash song.

 Pictures from the field trip to the Chumash Indian Museum are posted in the class' shutterfly account.  Parents, if you have photographs of school events from this year (Halloween, Mass, family picnics, etc.,) please post them to the shutterfly account.  The username and password are the same as last year.  If you don't have the username and password, please email me or see me.  Carol O'Day would also love digital copies of any pictures so that she can post them on the school photo site. 

A big thanks to Mrs. Ochoa who was our guest art teacher and led us in making totem poles as an extension of our Native American study.  Please enjoy the art and the writing that is posted on our board outside of the classroom.
