Kindergarten has been learning about North American bison this week. We've read nonfiction books to learn facts. We also read fiction books for enjoyment. Our favorite activity was exploring the Bison Box from the Confederated Salish-Kootenai Tribes (CSKT) Bison Range. We got to see and hold many bison parts and learn how Indigenous People used every part of the bison.
