Happy Native American Heritage Month. Below are some updates about what we have happening in our class and around Marshall in honor of Native American Heritage Month.
Spirit Week: This week we have Native American Spirit Week. The dates are as follows:
Monday: Rock your Mocs or Socks

Navajo Taco Lunch: Tuesday, November 15th we will be having Navajo Taco's for lunch. So delicious! Parents are welcome to join us ($5). We will be heading into the cafeteria at 11:30.
Deb Onsae: Last Wednesday Marshall's very own Deb Onsae came out of retirement to pay us a very special visit and tell us about storytelling. She read us "Turkey's Gift to the People." It was a very special story time, which we all enjoyed.
Fancy Dancing: This Tuesday the students will have the opportunity to watch Jonathan Chapman perform Fancy Dancing. There will also be a performance from one of our own students as well. Check him out at the link attached to his name.
Dates to Remember: A few other upcoming dates you might not want to forget, make sure to mark your calendars:
Tuesday, November 22 - Thanksgiving lunch with parents ($5)
Wednesday, November 23 - Friday, November 25 - Thanksgiving Break
Thursday, December 8 - Early Release
Crede Reperatory Theater: Last Thursday we also welcomed back Crede Reperatory Theater for the first time in a few years. It was great to have them back in the gym performing their bilingual performance "Casa Alfonsa." The kids enjoyed the music and acting and were able to connect it to our learning about Dia de Los Muertos. There was even a reference to corn, which (if you didn't know) has somehow become our unofficial theme song this year.
Have I told you what a pleasure it has been teaching this group of kids this year? If not, let me take the time now! They are truly a breath of fresh air. They make coming in to work easy, and I love their little faces and personalities so much. They are kind to each other, respectful and kind to adults, they are learners and helpers. They are the group that teachers talk about when they say their students make their jobs easy. It has been a pleasure to be with them each and every day. Thank you grown ups for pouring into them and making them the tiny humans they are!! -🧡Ms. Shaw
