Day Four: Our Challenge for You

The students were very concerned about leaving the moosewag over the long weekend and wanted to make sure that they were all still alive. As we started to collect the moosewag, we found bezhig (one) poor little moose that has passed away. A student of mine insisted that we pray over him so that he goes to moose heaven. After we had a little funeral for the moose, the students wanted to take a picture and see if you could count how many moosewag are in the picture.

We also included our Ojibwe numbers!

Please leave a comment with your guess! We will release the answer next Friday, May 22nd at 11:00am!

Good luck!
