November 26, 2013-Stitch Every Adventure

Students from seminar Stitch Every Adventure went home today proud of the work they finished. Embroidery is a slow process especially for beginners so they took their work home to finish it completely. Students are eager to embroider designs of their own and then give them as Christmas gifts to family and friends. The students in my seminar received a Certificate for Participation. We had lots of fun and we accomplished our goals.

November 25 Stitch Every Adventure

Falcons started an adventure that will give them a sense of pride in the work they are doing. This class will instill a tradition from our culture that should not be forgotten. They took an embroidery class today learning the history, different stitches, threads, needles, and fabrics used to embroider. They will be able to add elegance and grace to a piece of clothing to make it more memorable when they are done. We will continue with part two tomorrow.

We would like to thank Mr. Vit Kaspar for coming to our campus and giving our students a class on how to plant a vegetable garden. He pointed out the importance of having just the right environment for a successful vegetable garden. Yale planted carrots, spinach, cilantro, and lettuce. We will be waiting impatiently for the first signs of seedlings. Mr. Vit Kaspar works for AgriLIFE Extension Texas A&M System.

Week of November 18-22, 2013

Esperanza has started working because her mother is very ill. She now realizes that she needs to work in order to stay in the camp and to save money to bring abuelita to California. Esperanza has shown us that she is maturing and she no longer is the spoiled rich girl from El Rancho de las Rosas. Let us see what we learn in the chapters we will be reading. Will Esperanza be able to continue working? Will she quit because she feels that hard labor is too difficult? Will her mother survive? Will she be able to save enough money to bring abuelita to California?

Falcons we march forward and continue to work hard. Remember to READ because this is the only way we will be successful in life.

Falcons Let's Continue the Road to Success

Attention all 6th grade Falcons we are going to begin the 3rd six weeks. We have lots of work ahead of us while we continue reading "Esperanza Rising" by Pam Munoz Ryan. Projects for this week: Reading: continue with Thinking Map Book Report. This project is on-going as we read the novel. Writing: Students will write to Abuelita using a post card.

My Motto!

Parents and Students----Our Falcons need to READ on a daily basis. In order to be successful in life, we need to acquire knowledge and the only way we can do that is by READING! Reading is the key to learning and knowledge which will develop comprehension in ALL areas of academics--Reading, Math, Social Studies (History), Geography, Science and Writing. Let us give our children the best gift in life-KNOWLEDGE, so they can continue to succeed throughout their schooling, and so they can be accepted into the best University NATION WIDE!

So please parents take time and have our Falcons READ at least 30 minutes per night for starters.
