There's nothing better than doing your homework outside in the beautiful sunshine with your friends.  With weather like this, it's great fun to learn and absorb not only the beautiful sunshine but absorb all that knowledge as well.  Today like every other day is homework day...before we start to do any sort of activity outside or inside, we gotta do that homework.  Let's hear it for good grades!

Lincoln Plaza

Our piñatas are coming out great!!!  These are the two that are done so far...the rest still have a few more details to go.  So this week our goal along with enjoying this beautiful weather, I plan on teaching my students some basketball tips so they can have a 3 on 3 match.  Being that I have coaching experience in basketball and it is basketball season, I think we are going to take advantage of this awesome weather.  Friday will be our target day to have our 3 on 3 challenge along with showcasing our finalized piñatas.  Lincoln Plaza students have also enjoyed the reading challenge...it's refreshing to see that the first thing they do after logging on to their work stations, is go to the reading challenge website.  Very proud of my students and the goals they have set forth.

Today the class stayed indoors to work on their St. Patrick four leaf clover arts & crafts project.  They all cut out their own shapes/designs and then added some color to them.  As you can see in the picture below that's how they look now. Yea!  Hope everyone is having a good time getting ready for St. Patrick's day.

Cottonwood Creek

This week we started our Power Play Campaign at Cottonwood Creek.  I introduced the program to the students at CC on Wednesday, we all reviewed the curriculum and the children’s thoughts were very positive on getting healthy and staying fit.

The first activity was Power Bingo.  First, we colored the Picture Bingo handout.  Then we went ahead and played the game.  The kids had to get their boxes signed...most of them managed to get fifteen boxes signed.  Wow!!!  Not bad.  Finally, I inspected the boxes and took a poll to see how many of the kids could've signed each box, no cheating.

I think this is going to be a great motivator for getting the kids moving and more aware of healthy activities to participate in.
