Mr. Jesse LeRoque spent last Friday, 1-10-2020, in the three Travelers classrooms explaining and demonstrating how he uses strips of ash to weave beautiful baskets. The first and second graders had a discussion about Vermont first nation's history and they received show-and-tell lessons about Abenaki culture and crafts. Some of the students had a chance to weave small baskets out of paper, something that proved way harder to accomplish than it looked. Mr. LeRoque's visit was a part of the districts effort to provide learning about diversity and equity. LINK TO 35 PICTURES from Ms. Mangis' classroom.  LINK TO 81 PICTURES from Mr. Pac's classroom.
