Entrance Music: http://safeYouTube.net/w/XWyf

Today is Tuesday, November 27th, 2018

The music you heard was singer Lyla June. She is Navajo and Cheyenne.  

November is Native American Heritage Month.



This Week’s theme is:   FUN AND EXCITEMENT
Let’s take a look at a fun and exciting
cultural event for Native Americans: the pow-wow.  
Traditionally the pow-wow was a coming together
for trade and celebration.  
There are dancing contests, a grand entry of all the dancers,
and usually vendors selling food and other items.  
Some dances are sponsored in honor of certain people.  

Every tribe has its own language,
and Native American tribes are
As different as different European countries.  
The Crow are called “Absaalooke” in their own language.  
This translates to “Children of the large-beaked bird.”  
European settlers didn’t quite understand this,
so they named it something familiar to them, “Crow.”


A way to honor and respect native peoples
is to call them what they call themselves.  
Next time you meet a Crow Native American, refer to
Them as “Absaalooke” and they will be deeply honored!  
You can also learn to say “Thank you” in Absaalooke: “Aho!”

Brother and Sister Duo, Donny and Marie Osmond used to sing
“I’m a little bit country, I’m a little bit rock and roll…”
Well, oddly enough, that’s the theme
for the 2019 Ravalli County Fair.
YeeHaw! If you want to design the logo for the fair book,
see Mrs. Ogden for details.
You don’t need your own TV show, but it might help…
oh, and dolls!



10/15/1977 The Whole Osmond Family
played the Harry Adams Fieldhouse in Missoula
(- a sick Jimmy Osmond)
The White tuxes, dresses, and powder  blue ruffles were amazing
- and oh the horn section, backup singers and dancers, wow!

Kindness, What does that mean?



Kindness is defined as the quality of being friendly, generous, and considerate. Affection, gentleness, warmth, concern, and care are words that are associated with kindness. Being kind often requires courage and strength.


What are different ways to practice kindness?





A kind word, a smile, opening a door, or helping carry a heavy load can all be acts of kindness. Celebrating someone you love, giving honest compliments, sending a card thanking someone, telling someone how s/he is special to you, helping an elderly neighbor with yard work or food, refusing to gossip, and donating old clothing and things you don't need are all ideas about how to practice kindness.






Golden Tickets!!!!!!


Don't forget to bring in Box Tops for Education!! 



Bring in your boxtops!!! They really do help our school!!!

The music you heard was the drum group Northern Cree

performing at last year’s Grammys.  

November is Native American Heritage Month.



This Week’s theme is:   FUN AND EXCITEMENT
Image result for indigenous thanksgiving
Many people had fun and excitement (and food)
over the Thanksgiving
break.  The origins of Thanksgiving are not celebrated by everyone,
though;
for Native Americans, it can be a reminder of much suffering
for the indigenous people of America.  
Here is a Native American discussing his perspective
on Thanksgiving:
Steve Bloom came up with Six Ways to Enjoy Today
  1. Learn to amuse yourself
  2. Laugh at the bad times you’ve had
  3. Cut out the destructive parts of your life
  4. Find the things that drive you
  5. Embrace your inner child (things you liked to do as a kid)
  6. Appreciate the small things in life

Elders and Youngers!
You’ve heard the saying that it is better to give than to receive.
But did you know there is scientific research behind the benefits of being generous?
  1. Better Health
  2. Increased Happiness
  3. Lower Stress
  4. Improved Relationships
  5. People who volunteer live a lot longer.


To increase these benefits, practice them a lot! Make GENEROSITY a habit!


The Class of 2024 showed generosity towards their 1st Grade Buddies,
last Tuesday by sharing their Pizza Party earned through their Red Ribbon Awareness
door decorating contest.
Thanks for facilitating, Mr. Beckwith!


This was the second meeting of 1st graders and 8th graders
and they seem to have become fast friends.
Mrs. Ogden employed them to help wrap up the annual
Thanksgiving  Turkey Gravy Boats as gifts for their families.
They turned out wonderfully!
Good job being generous, everyone!

Vaugn was very vivacious when he visited with Virginia and Valkyrie,
last Tuesday before Thanksgiving.
