This slideshow requires JavaScript.

Eighth grade students were had an incredible field trip to Smallin Cave today. We’ve been learning about Osage history and the local environment, and this field trip hit on both of those points. Our tour guide was adopted by the Osage nation as a child, and he shared tremendous stories and songs with our groups. He was also patient to teach us pronunciations. 🙂 If you have an eighth grade student at home, be sure to ask them what they thought!
