After reading "Esperanza Rising", fourth and fifth graders at Desert View Elementary created colorful yarn dolls, each one a unique representation of the characters in the book they had come to love. As they crafted their dolls, they sipped on hibiscus tea. "Esperanza Rising" includes a recipe for hibiscus tea at the end of the book. Teachers can use this recipe to have students taste the tea as part of a celebration at the end of the book.

Ms. Lillian Lopez organized this wonderful project to spread love and comfort in our community. Scholars and staff at DVE donated socks and other comfort items, which Ms. Lopez presented to elderly men and women in nearby assisted-living facilities. The project was a great success and the recipients felt the love from DVE scholars and staff.

Scholars in Ms. Gonzales' sixth grade class used engineering and design concepts to create apps to help kindergartners and first graders practice math facts. They started by learning what their target audience needed, and ended by demonstrating their apps and getting feedback from their "clients."
