100 Days of School

On the 100th day of school, my students and I created a bulletin board: 100 Reasons to Love Lima.  Here are a few:

Paolo Guerrero, Peru's best soccer player...

Puente de los Suspiros, a cute bridge in my favorite part of town...

Ceviche, the raw-fish dish Peru is famous for...

Lomo Saltado, another tasty dish...

Kennedy Park...also known as the Cat Park due to its overabundance of cats...

Of course, Monterrico Christian School...

Sublime...

Friendship Park...
Polvos Azules, home of all things pirated...

Pizza Hut (not "Hot" as the picture says)...one of the less Peruvian things on our list...


...and last but not least, Lima wouldn't be Lima without the traffic.

Earth Balls

This chapter in science we are studying the Earth and its layers.  Last week we used peanut butter, jelly, chocolate chips, and crushed graham crackers to make an edible model of the Earth. 

The Mantle

Insert the inner and outer core...



Squeeze it back together...


Roll in it crushed graham crackers to make the crust...


And there you have it, a yummy, sugary Earth!
