Pokeyhontas

Since November is Native American History month, we have been doing several activities related to this, including making tee pees, dreamcatches, canoes, paper dolls and paper vests. The kids have really enjoyed the activities related to the topic!

Today I decided to bring in our copy of Pocahontas. I was trying to explain what it was about, as I was introducing the movie. I also played the soundtrack, which they liked. They had a bit of trouble pronouncing the name, though. I heard it called "Pokeyhontas", "Cocoahontas" and "Pokerhontas". Oh well, they did get pretty close!
