Mid-Term Mania
We have just completed our final full week before mid-terms. Students have bee finishing up projects and papers, studying hard and prepping for their assessments. We wish all of our students the best of luck!
Working Together
Preschool Teacher Ms. Murphy had her students learn all about the art that many African countries have in common. They focused on weaving and pottery and students created these wonderful artifacts.We were able to work together, providing books from the library on the many different countries in Africa. It proved to be a great collaboration between the library and preschool and we look forward to their next unit on Japan!
Book of the Week
American Like Me: Reflections On Life Between Cultures / America Ferrera
"From award-winning actress and political activist America Ferrera comes
a . . . varied collection of first person accounts from prominent
figures about the experience of growing up between cultures. America
Ferrera has always felt wholly
American,
and yet, her identity is inextricably linked to her parents' homeland
and Honduran culture. Speaking Spanish at home, having
Saturday-morning-salsa-dance-parties in the kitchen, and eating tamales
alongside apple pie at Christmas never seemed at odds with her
American identity. Still, she yearned to see that identity reflected in the larger
American narrative. Now, in '
American Like Me,'
America invites thirty-one of her friends, peers, and heroes to share
their stories about life between cultures . . ."--Provided by publisher.
