To honor the heritage of Native Americans, students in Juliana Rotman’s and Kim Fitzsimmons’s classes in the Lynbrook Kindergarten Center learned about Native American heritage on Long Island.

Principal Ellen Postman read “Fry Bread” and “Grandmother’s Dreamcatcher” to the children to teach them about Native American culture. Afterwards, the class made dreamcatchers, which are traditionally gifted to children in Native American tribes as a medium of protection against bad dreams and other harms. They are typically hung above cribs and beds.
