Harlem Renaissance Adobe Spark Projects

After much research, each student has created an Adobe Spark Video project of a famous person from the Harlem Renaissance.   As mentioned in a previous blog, the children used internet sites and books to research men and women who helped shape the Harlem Renaissance movement of the 1920's and 1930's. 

Each student created an original video that included slides about the life and achievements of a famous African -American writer, artist, singer, dancer, or civil rights activist.   They were very proud to share their finished products with their classmates.

Happy Mardi Gras

We had lots of fun learning about the traditions of Mardi Gras.  The children got to see doubloons, read a Mardi Gras book, completed math problems, and even tried a King Cake.   Everyone agreed it was pretty tasty!
