We Love Animals

The First Grade Dragons took some time 
this week to reflect on "Why Animals Make Our Lives Better". We read books about animals, told stories, and made drawings.  On Thursday, we were lucky to have two amazing storytellers visit our class!  Silke Markowski, who was one of the founders of the Waldorf school in Taos, and our very own Audrey Martinez of Ohkay Owingeh Pueblo.


Here are some of the drawings....










Silke Markowski enchanted the kids with her drumming and her stories of growing up on a farm in Germany.  












Audrey Marinez, or Pin Povi (Mountain Flower), told us about her grandmother, the Deer Dance, and the culture of respect of Ohkay Owingeh Pueblo.
