"An Indian Father's Plea"

In this letter "An Indian Father's Plea" he speaks about his son Wind-Wolf, who is a 5 year old boy in kindergarten. In this letter his father talks about his son being behind in his class only because in his culture they learned things differently. Wind-Wolf does know how to count and he knows his numbers, he was taught mathematics, he knows his days and months but only by the native tribal calender. He knows a lot about birds and knows about some of the planets. He is a very smart child but in a different way than all the other children. In Wind-Wolfs family they value there culture, religion, and beliefs about there tribe. In the classroom they do not learn about any of this they don't learn about any Indian culture, and this is what the dad is writing a letter about. He wants the children to learn about this culture so that they are familiar with what goes on and how other people live there lives. This connects with what we are learning today, how we are learning that we need to respect everyone in the classroom and all beliefs. We need to focus on all the children to make sure that they are getting the same help everyone else is, and we need to make sure that no one falls behind and that everyone is on the same page. This is what I got from this reading on "An Indian Father's Plea".
