Another Happy Birthday!

What is your wish this year, dear Andrew? Any new discoveries about yourself you would like to share with us?

Here's to a year of laughter, fun, knowledge and lots of love!

("LOVE?" questioned the boys. "Ew, Miss Lou!";)

Children's Holocaust Project

As all of you know, Miss Lou visited the Holocaust museum at Washington D.C. in March. (Who remembers what the acronym D.C. means? And no Kelvin, it does not stand for Donna Karen! :)

The Children's Holocaust Project is located on the ground floor of the museum. The entire wall is covered with hundreds and hundreds of colorful tiles. Each tile was originally designed by children who learned about the Holocaust. Some children drew what made them sad. Other children drew symbols to show what they believe. Many children wrote about their feelings using words and phrases.

If you had to make a tile, what would your tile look like?

A few questions to research about:

1. Why did the Holocaust happen? What year did it take place?

2. Which countries and rulers were involved?

3. What happened to the children during the war?

4. How did the Holocaust end? Was it good or bad?

5. How do you feel about the Holocaust?

Hmm...do you think there are problems in our life that makes you angry, want to fight or argue?

What are ways you deal with your feelings and problems?

A Rainbow Birthday!

What is Christina eating? Did she eat the rainbow?
The rain did not stop this beautiful family from celebrating another year for Enya's sister Emma. We all played outside and Ms. Tina passed out fruit, cake and nachos.

Getting wet after school can be fun!

Can you guess how old Emma is this year?

March 2005

Alexander is trying to keep his eyes open to read Dr. Seuss', "The Butter Battle".

Kat, Sara, Felicia and Anne love to read too. Maybe we should have brought our sunglasses! Despite the hot, blazing sun, our 2nd grade class celebrated Dr. Seuss' 102nd birthday by reading as a school outside. Happy Birthday, Dr. Seuss!

Which book did you read when you went outside?
