Social Studies - The West / The Tlingit 

We will prepare for our classroom luau, which is the Western region feast, scheduled for 6/1. Students will learn about the history of the luau, make their own grass skirts and feast on the traditional luau foods of barbecued pork, salmon, fruit salad and Hawaiian punch! We will have fun hula dancing and watching the Disney film, Lilo & Stitch.
