Today, all the third graders of Arcos got together to celebrate "Childrens' Rights Day." This meant painting a banner (Juan Apresa's banner was painted hurriedly the day before, mainly by teachers--including yours truly), and playing games to demonstrate different rights.
Javi, the gym teacher, and I ran the Africa station. We put the kids in small groups to create Tanagram puzzles; one of the children was supposed to cover their eyes with a blindfold (which, of course, no one had) and the other children had to guide the "blind" child in putting together the puzzle. The game was pretty wack, and much more difficult than anyone had anticipated. At least, maybe, it taught the kids that they should help those less fortunate than themselves...The wackness of the game gave me plenty of time to take pictures, though. Without further ado, here are some of my adorable 3rd-graders:
Our Africa banner: I painted the two A's and the F!
One of my favorites, Alejandro in the yellow shirt; he reminds me of the mouse in Cinderella that's joins the mouse posse at the beginning of the movie
The kids join together in a big circle to sing; also, the China station
Two of my favorites in the front: Jose Manuel and Jesus (Jesus is in "the Animal" shirt)
One of my third grade classes. Adorable!
