We are the tribe from Greenfield - How

It just wouldn't be Thanksgiving with out the Greenfield Pow Wow! To commemorate Thanksgiving, the kids study Pilgrim and Indian customs, then participate in their own Pow Wow complete with the Greenfield Pow Wow Chant, Indian drums, and dancing followed by a Thanksgiving Feast. Each child also brings a peeled raw vegetable of their choice. The teacher helps them chop it and add it to the soup that they all share at the feast.Landon was psyched about the chants before hand, but kinda overwhelmed when show-time came around.
But he was still the cutest Indian (Chief Crazy Horse) at school!

Each class prepared and shared it's own dinner.

Daddy's a bit of a "crazy horse" himself!

The kids really enjoyed the picnic.

Each class also makes a tee pee (background).
How long till Christmas?

This was one of my favorite events at Greenfield! I love the "we are the red men feathers in a headband..." song. I am so glad to see Landon having such a great time! Hope all is well!
