Totem ASRP

An ASRP is an after school recreation program. Sam and Cairo are both in one this time that Molly is running. They first talked about native american totem poles and how each individual carving on the pole had a meaning. Molly then gave the kids a hand out with several different animals listed on it along with each animal's characteristics. Each child chose the animal that best represented them. The rest of the education process was that of recycling. The children then had to use old cereal boxes, egg cartons, newspapers etc. to create their totem. I helped Molly with the last two sessions of the ASRP as the kids finished up their work. Now all the totems will be mounted together on a pole and displayed in the school. Each child's name will be displayed next to their animal, along with the characteristics represented.

Sam chose a cougar as his totem..No, not because of BYU's fantastic football season, but because of courage,leadership and foresight.

Cairo chose a dolphin as her totem..because of swimming.
