Lincoln Plaza

We have been working on our banner for Valentine's day for over a week now and this is what our students here at Lincoln Plaza have accomplished.  Many of them liked the fact that they learned to sew...they really enjoyed this option for Valentine's card ideas.  Better than buying cards that everyone will end up throwing away...this way the kids put some thought into their arts and crafts.  I still have mine from when a former classmate gave one to me while in high school.  Speaking of high school, the high school kids are even getting involved...yea kids!!!

 

 

Sunrise Villa

In the spirit of the Martin Luther King holiday, the students at Sunrise Villa/ Villa Hermosa wrote mini versions of their own "I have a dream..." speech.  All of the students were very creative in their speeches as well as drawing awesome pictures that represented their speeches.  I'm very proud of them!  Go Civil Rights!

 

Lincoln Plaza

Last week many of my students began to talk about what they wanted on their Valentine’s Day cards and that they asked their parents about them.  However, after much thinking while watching the Patriots game and one thing that really stood out was many of them mentioned that they weren’t probably going to buy any because they had no money.  Another factor that really stood out was when I was a child, I never really saved any of those cards.  So in reality it was a waste of money.  So this week after much thinking about it, I have decided to show my students how to make their own Valentine’s Day cards where some will keep them and later down the road a few will look back and think about that particular grade and who gave it to them. This week and next week these cards will be our focus.  This week they will be learning how to make Cupids Arrow, Heart Bags made out of felt and a Heart Card made from felt as well.

 

Villa De Guadalupe

Today here at Villa de Guadalupe, we are watching the movie Chihuahua part 2 and eating some snacks...  :)  Yea!!!

Parksdale II

Today the kids and I are honoring Dr. Martin Luther King.  We all know that he fought for freedom/civil rights so that everyone can be viewed as equal...it doesn't matter what race, creed, religion you are, we are all the same in the eyes of God.  So friends, "WE MUST LEARN TO LIVE TOGETHER AS BROTHERS AND SISTERS OR WE WILL PERISH TOGETHER AS FOOLS."

One of my students came to class with this quote from Dr. Martin Luther King so I thought I would share it with all of you, "LOVE IS THE MOST DURABLE POWER IN THE WORLD."

Let freedom ring!!!

 

Lincoln Plaza

Now that the Holidays are officially over with, another one approaches.  At Lincoln Plaza we are getting ready for Valentine’s Day!  My students and I are focusing in making sure our computer lab is decorated with Valentine’s Day decorations.  Although it might be a month away, we are getting ready for it and enjoying every minute of it.  Last week we began our stained glass glue hearts along with a tissue paper heart.

Our stained glass glue hearts took a week to be completed simply because it does require a lot of glue.  This week we are doing some Valentine’s Day flowers, red velvet cupcakes and begin a sewing Valentine’s Day flag that is supposed to be a two week project.  Pictures are to come as soon as our projects begin to dry. We are also beginning a fitness challenge with the wii using the Just Dance games.

Work done by the kinder!!!!  Very proud of them that they can participate with the older kids even though I change it up a little for them.
