For our final class of the year, we watched a CBS Mornings Note to Self featuring Dolores Huerta looking back on all she has accomplished. The students were moved by Dolores’ many setbacks and her incredible strength and resilience. We talked about how the farmworkers movement is still ongoing. It is up to the next generation to the take up the mantle and believe that “¡Sí, se puede!”
In the kitchen classroom, we hosted one last celebration of the winter season with a bounty of citrus fruit and mini olive oil cakes. The second and third grade chefs layered cake, freshly squeezed orange juice, citrus salad, citrus yogurt, fresh whipped cream, candied lemon peel, mint, and edible flowers for a sweet and refreshing dessert. In our closing circle, each person in our classroom community shared their favorite recipe from our exploration of the farmworkers movement and an appreciation. Thank you to all of our students, teachers, and volunteers. Until next year!
