These are fridge magnets for weather words in Oneida ... there are also word only magnets to match and practice. eg. today's weather word was:
Wa ni sli yo/Nice day! as in lovely outside ;) Wah knee slee yo
Today was also an historical one for me personally, as I was asked to participate in Native Cultural Day at the first school I attended. It was across the street from the orphanage where my mother took me at the time. [cira 1957] We lived two streets over from the school in an upstairs apartment [the kind with steep steps outside the building] but when government policies crashed down on my mother's marital status after separation, she was forced to walk me around the corner to the orphanage. So, ya, a much better day today!

  1. You think of such imaginative ways to teach, and you also painted a poignant picture of an early memory. I hope every day is a much better day than the one before it! (wouldn't that be wonderful!) :) Cindy
