Trivia for the day... The Ute tribe has 'no tradition or evidence of migration' (phrase I've seen in several resources) that put the tribe here (CO/UT/WY/NM) at a specific date. The documents say that it must mean the tribe has been here for at least a thousand years (probably more). Hmm...I wonder if I would get linched tomorrow if I told the 3rd/4th graders my theory. It might just be mixing church and state considering I would have to bring the Book of Mormon into the explanation. (We're learning about Indigenous Peoples in Jonny's class.)
Jacob's class? Today we reviewed a bit about Newton and one of his theories before doing 'rockets' outside - wish I had brought my camera! The rockets were made with water and 'Alka Seltzer' in a film canister for 'ancient cameras' (according to one of the students). The kids had a great time with it. (We also edited their 'space' research and they wrote a 'newspaper review' after watching a DVD of the show they put on.)
