Tyger River Elementary School

Mrs. Cassidy’s 4th grade class visited the library for a special lesson during Native American Heritage Month. Together with the librarian they read Keepunumuk: Weeâchumun's Thanksgiving Story and then used PebbleGo to research the Native American peoples of the Southeast United States.

Ms. Mackey and Glenn’s 5th grade classes visited the library for a special lesson honoring Native American Heritage Month. Together with the librarian they read The Rough-Face Girl, an Algonquin Cinderella story, then reviewed character traits and completed a hands-on craft to build their own story structures.

Students connected cultural storytelling with literary skills in a creative, respectful lesson. #NativeAmericanHeritageMonth #TygerRiverES #LibraryLearning

It was an exciting week at TRE as we hosted our second @girlswhocode meeting! 🚀💻✨This program is designed to help introduce girls to coding and increase future female professionals in the world of coding and engineering.
