The second two images are of student visuals for their "Mi casa es su casa" presentations (from the Spanish 1.2B classes, also voted as favorites). 


The final 2 images are pictures of snowflakes that Spanish 2 students in both my classes and Ms. O'Day's class created as part of a display in memory of the children that were lost in the Newtown tragedy.  Each snowflake was created to honor the life of a particular student, and was dedicated to that student.
