What the Children Have to Say

Recently we gave a Connect The Circle (Museum Galleries and Medicine Woods) guided tour to a group of third graders.  Earlier this week we received an envelope of thank you notes from the children.  We were pleased and impressed by what they had to say.  Here is a sampling of the comments the children wrote.  (The names have been changed.)

"Thank you for being our guide.  I liked when you showed us the Medicine Woods.  I also liked when you showed us the eel trap.  THANKS!  -Robert

"Thank you for the tour.  My favorite part was the story about the fisherman [a story learned from Bud Thompson which illustrates the native belief that everything on earth is connected and interrelated.]  I really enjoyed it! I had lots of fun!"  - Sadie

"Thank you so much for giving [our school] a tour of the museum.  It was so much fun. . . My favorite part was the story of the fishermen!"  - Grace

"QUESTIONS  How many trees do you think are at Kearsarge Indian Museum?
How many years have you [the tour guide] been working there?
What is the oldest thing you have at the museum."  - Hunter
