Canada Day '13

Acacia's 6th grade class studied Canada and celebrated with Canada day.  They broke out into groups and each did research on a specific providence.  Acacia and her friends did Manitoba.  Auntie Valerie was visiting so she was able to stop by with me to get a lesson on Manitoba.  We asked questions but no one really knew any answers and we repeatedly asked if we wanted wild rice.  I guess it was more an exercise in bonding with classmates then much of anything else!

Each group had to make part of a tee pee.

Acacia's group made the top of the tee pee.  Apparently, Winnie the Pooh is from Manitoba.

After the demonstrations the orchestra
 played a few songs!
