After seeing a Pinocchio show at the West Farms Library, the kids took a group show with the actors.

Batman
I never heard so much about Superheros until this year. I had more boys in my class than girls. This is Christopher during the winter. He’s excited about his batman hat.
What’s wrong with my Hair?
After reading a children’s books titled What’s wrong with my Hair by Kitamura the kids made their own images. I didn’t have to do much, I just gave them materials and they went to work.
The Top Goes Pop!
My children created their own illustrations to a story I wrote called The Top Goes Pop!
Determine Joi
Joi wasn’t going to let her height stop her from posting a sign!
Waiting
While some were hanging signs, others were sitting on the park bench.
Yep, we even put some in the park.
Some people walk their dogs in the park and forget it’s a place to play; not a place worry about stepping in dog poop.
Kiki’s Sign
An unhealthy Bronx, makes Kiki cry.

The Literacy Club
Here we are at the Library right before school let out. We had just finished signing up for the Summer Reading Program.
A Graduation Lesson
Once again we are in the season of graduations…the best time of the year to hear encouraging speeches from educators and students alike.
Yesterday, I was walking from the Hispanos Unidos Garden with the Literacy Club when I ran across a beautiful family. I usually would see them in the neighborhood and we would exchange hi’s.
They looked stunning walking towards us. I asked the mom who looks like she could be the oldest sister (she’s the one in the pink) if I could take a photo of them.
My students were on the side of me chanting CONGRATULATIONS!! Over and over.
After the picture, one of the little girls who had chalk in her hand, decided to write on the building behind them. Why did she do that? The Literacy club suddenly got enraged. Their chants became rebukes and when I tried to take up for her, telling them it could easily come off with water, they turned to me and shouted at me:
RESPECT OTHER PEOPLE’S PROPERTY!! ISN’T THAT WHAT YOU TELL US?
So, in the end I agreed with them and so did the mother who told the little girl, she will have to clean it.
