"Cheryl
was highly motivated and showed great initiative throughout her
internship. She organized a fieldtrip to
Head Smashed In Buffalo Jump, she started and facilitated a drawing club, organized
a guest speaker to come to the school and she scheduled meetings with parents
that she felt she needed to speak with." - PS3 Mentor
During my PS3 Internship I invited the head of our FNMI Department to come in to our class to teach us about Traditional Aboriginal Dances. I also organized and executed a field trip to the Head-Smashed-In-Buffalo Jump. I planned both of these events so that my students learning about the Aboriginal Culture could have some actual authentic experiences with the First Nations Culture. I knew that there were certain aspects about the curriculum that cannot be explained through words or videos, there are some things that students must actually interact with in order to fully understand. Bringing in external resources was a very educational and rewarding experience for both myself and the students. Below are pictures from our field trip to the Buffalo Jump and our "Aboriginal Dance Class"
