Ruby Bridges


Our school has an awesome group of people that work in it and we have all come together to make a Black History Museum.  Each classroom picked a famous African American to learn about and then made a display to help teach the rest of the school about their person.  The displays are hung out in the front part of our building so everyone can view the wonderful, creative products.  My class learned about the brave little girl, Ruby Bridges.  We then made a life size Ruby and used tear paper to fill her in.  I traced my smallest girl and then cut  out parts for the kids to work on.  Then we put her back together and you can see what she looks like.  She is beautiful, the kids did a fantastic job!  We also wrote and interactive piece in Ruby's voice to go along with her on display.  We decided together what she would say and then each child got a part to write and then I put it together and made a speech bubble to go along with our piece of art.  I hope you enjoy looking at this.  As more get hung up I will take pictures and post them.  
Here's our finished Ruby, didn't they do a great job?

Here's a picture that has some of the kids in my class, do you see Ruby with them?  The class looks so small because the day I took this picture there were 4 absent.  Although I really missed the ones that were at home, I kind of liked having a small class.  Hopefully they will all be in school on Tuesday.

  4. What is famous space? To put it plainly, it is the privilege of a legislature to seize private property for open use, in return for installment of equitable quality. Honest worth can be characterized as the most elevated value someone would pay for the property, were it in the hands of an eager merchant. In any case, imagine a scenario in which you would not like to offer at any cost. Payday Loans Costa-mesa

  5. Purchasing a games auto does not need to mean heading off to your closest auto merchant and getting a fresh out of the box new vehicle off the rack. There are a significant modest bunch of these vehicles past the merchant's carport, in great condition and sold at a lower cost.Payday Loans
