Hello Everyone,

Now that Father's Day has past, we had a great discussion about it. A couple of kids had parties for their dads and they described their day to us. One of the families went to the beach.

Unfortunately, not all of the children get to see their fathers very often, so I am having them write a letter with a drawing telling their father how much they mean to them. That way they can hand it to their father next time they are together.

During these past few weeks we have been busy creating different crafts. First off, we started to make a classroom quilt. Each child got a piece of colored felt and some fabric markers. They went on to design and sketch what they wanted to go on the piece of fabric. Once they had it decorated and were satisfied with the work they had done they let it dry. We hung it on a wall, that way all of us got to enjoy the works of art!

Since the kids were also celebrating the end of the school year we made a memory book, which they got to color, decorate, and put together.

After that, they had a "autograph" day where they got to get their peers' signatures and wrote messages in the book they had created as a keepsake of the year.

We also started to do some fun physical games that would be suitable indoors because the weather is so unforgiving. The kids seem to like them and might even play them inside their own homes.

Father's Day is coming up, so we started working on their gifts, poems, and refrigerator magnets. Photos to come next week! Hope everyone enjoys their weekend with their father/father figure!

Hello everyone!

Last week the kids made food with clay and with it they made a 'healthy food plate'.  This is a project from the book "Champions for Change." 

Also, they learned how it is to be blind. They touched different objects and learned how to 'see with their hands.'

Friday, the kids and I made a fruit pop. What better way to keep cool and healthy? Everyone brought their favorite fruit to share with everyone else. The first thing we did was cut out the fruits. Then we placed them in a plate. Afterwards we all had a chance to pick our fruits and put them in a cup; we then added chile with water. Finally we put the fruits in the freezer, over night, and the next day we had our fruit pops ready to eat!
