Grades 1-3 had a visit from Emily Legg, McGuffey parent and member of the Cherokee tribe. This is always a great way to remind students that Native American people are still living in this country. Emily told us a story about corn husk dolls which explained why they have no faces. After she shared the story, she helped students make their own dolls. These dolls were a huge hit, with students crafting and sewing clothes for their dolls. Emily also shared a traditional bean bread, made from masa harina and cooked in corn husks. We are so fortunate to have community that helps bring our lessons to life!
