Today was CAFE's first meeting, and it was a great success! Many thanks to our friends, Eric Wang and Peyton Young for presenting on the topic of Chinese New Year. It sounds like you all learned so much! What did you learn? What was your favorite part? Share with me your reflections on CAFE!

Love and Kindness are in the air!

This Saturday is Valentine's Day!

Please give your friends and me some ideas for showing kindness and love towards others! These ideas can be big or small. Remember, sometimes the little things mean the most!

Travel Reflections!

We had a busy week of international travel this week! We traveled to Guatemala and Greece in two days. I am tired just thinking about it! Now that our suitcases are unpacked, I am savoring the memories. Please share your new learning, favorite activities and thoughts on each country!

Greece and Guatemala!

We have been digging into Culture Grams to gain new learning on Greece and Guatemala. Our Venn Diagram is going to be very educational for others to read! Please share some of your new learning about either country!

Westward Expansion View to Learn!

Please enjoy this video about The Oregon Trail and Westward Expansion. You can start and stop it as you make your own brain tracks on paper. Then, please share your new learning. I know you will have a lot of BK in this video, but try to focus on new learning. 

Enjoy!
