Community Serve

We went on two community serve field trips last week. The first one we went to GJP and The Genesis Shelter. We went to the GJP to learn what they do everyday. This guy Mr. Sanchez talked about what he does on his job. He helps people that are prisoners so when they get out they could be on the right path. Some people they can’t help because maybe they don’t have right things and they can’t be helped. Then at the end we went on a tour around the campus and Ms. Johnson took us on one this was a good trip. Then we left there and went to The Genesis Shelter where we donated some baby bottles and diapers. We saw what they do everyday we went into a classroom and played with kids a little bit. Then we went up stairs and saw where the families stay while there are on campus. This was a good trip. Community serves is viable because it good to help others because they might not be healthy get all of the stuff they need.

TOT Reflction

Cherokee culture existed for thousands of years in the southeastern United States before European contact. The Cherokee taught the early settlers how to hunt, how to fish and farm and do other new things. The settlers introduced new crops and farming techniques. Sequoyah established the first alphabet in Cherokee culture.  He didn’t know how to read or write but he still made it. In 1830, the same year the Indian Removal Act was passed, gold was found on Cherokee lands. Most Cherokee wanted to stay on their land, but the Europeans wanted the Cherokee out. They had to begin walking to Oklahoma. This is what we called the trail of tears and this was a sad time for the Cherokees.
