She told me today that her mom signed her up for this class because she watches too much TV. I'm soooo glad she signed her up for Mundo Lindo!

We finished our brown paper bag books from last week, and made Haiti Houses. It felt like Santa's workshop!
haiti houses
I talked to the kids about Haiti, and all the Haitian children that had lost their homes and parents...They really listened, and embraced this project of making tiny houses, that will be made into pins and magnets and sold for $5 each, with all the money going to Unicef for Haiti.
(Jasmin and I cut all the house shapes, and glued the roofs on, before the kids arrived to class)
