Who Are We? Our Class Totem Pole and Our Individual Totem Poles

A Totem Pole tells a story. As we begin our study of Native Americans, we worked together to tell the story of the 2014-2015 Navigators Class and to each tell the story of the people who are most important to us. 

Our class Totem Pole, from bottom to top:
  • Seabury School: a school where we can learn "with the brakes off"
  • The Navigators: 9 eager and engaged students
  • A Castle: we loved studying the Middle Ages and making a classroom castle
  • Weather: we studied seasons, climate and weather
  • Frightful: we learned about the quest of Sam Gribley in My Side of the Mountain. Frightful was his faithful falcon. 
  • A Flying Machine: we learned about the quest of Leonardo da Vinci 
  • The Navigators' Lighthouse: the symbol of the Navigators, going on a quest to discover our individual pathways
