Field Trip this Thursday: Lelooska Cultural Center

This Thursday we head up to Ariel, Washington to visit the Lelooska Cultural Center. Follow the links below to get more information about the Cultural Center. There is a very informative article in The Oregonian and some outstanding photographs of some of the masks that we will see.

We will leave shortly after school starts on Thursday.  The forecast is for partly-cloudy with temp in the mid-40s.  Even though the dances and storytelling are indoors, it is an unheated space except for a small fire in the middle. Even on some warm May days it is cold inside this longhouse.  I can only imagine how chilly it will be in November. Please have your child dress warmly with sensible shoes. We will also be eating lunch at a nearby park that has covered areas in case it is raining during our visit there.

I will be sharing more information about the trip during the week with the class, so be sure to ask questions about the field trip this week. For now, click on the links above and share what you find out with your child!
