🌿 **2nd In-House Field Trip: Exploring Native American History, Culture, and Primitive Skills** 🌿
Our second in-house field trip was an incredible journey into Native American history and culture, perfectly tied to our **Wit and Wisdom Module 2**! Students had the opportunity to engage deeply with the stories, traditions, and survival skills that have shaped Indigenous communities for centuries.
**Highlights from our adventure:**
- Learning about Native American storytelling and its importance in preserving history 📚
- Understanding the deep connection between Native American cultures and the natural world 🌲
- Experiencing hands-on primitive skills, from flint knapping to traditional fire-starting 🔥
- Engaging in meaningful discussions about respect for the land and the legacy of Indigenous peoples 🌎
This immersive experience helped bring to life the lessons in our **Wit and Wisdom** curriculum, reinforcing the powerful impact of Native American history and culture on our world today.
