Liberty Elementary Sallisaw Public Schools

Liberty P3 and PreK students enjoying their Easter Egg hunt

Liberty Elementary second grade classes had a great week learning how to make Cherokee clay pinch pots. Together with Mrs. Merrill JOM Coordinator, and Mrs. Covington the 506 tutor they taught the students about the cultural reasons for clay pottery and how they were used by the Cherokee and other Native Tribes in earlier times. The students really enjoyed creating different designs and figures with their pinch pots and were looking forward to taking them home to show them off. Materials for the event were provided by Cherokee Nation JOM program and the Cherokee Heritage Center.

The kindergarten and P3 students are busy sitting on their own eggs during work time in hopes of hatching chicks on Thursday.

Mrs. Johnson’s class has an incubator full of eggs in hopes of hatching baby chicks.
