Hi girls.

Please print the song imagine for next class.

Imagine  ( John Lennon)

Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people living for today

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people living life in peace

You, you may say 
I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one
I hope some day you'll join us
And the world will be as one

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people sharing all the world

You, you may say 
I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one
I hope some day you'll join us
And the world will live as one

Imagine - John Lennon (español ingles)

Zink the Zebra by Kelly Wel

I like me bye Nancy Carlson

 

 I have a best friend

 That best friend is me. 

I do fun things with me, I draw beautiful pictures

I ride fast!

 and I read good books with me

 I like to take care of me 

 I brush my teeth    

 I keep clean and,            

   I eat good food.          

When I get up in the morning I said, "Hi good-looking!"    

  I like my curly tail, my round tummy

 and my tiny little feet.

 When I feel bad   

I cheer my self up

When i make mistakes

  I try, and try again!

    When I fall down

 I pick my self up

No matter where I go,

Or what I do,

I'll allways be me, and

I like that!

ST VALENTINES DAY LEYEND

The Romans celebrated a Pagan holiday on February 14th to honor 'Juno Fructifier', Queen of the Roman gods and goddesses as well as goddess of marriage. In one ritual, women would submit their names to a common box and men would each draw one out. These two would be a couple for the duration of the festival (and at times for the entire following year). Both rituals were designed to promote not only fertility, but also life generally.

February 15th & Feast of Lupercalia:
On February 15, Romans celebrated Luperaclia, honoring Faunus, god of fertility. Men would go to a grotto dedicated to Lupercal, the wolf god, located at the foot of Palatine Hill and where Romans believed that the founders of Rome, Romulus and Remus, were suckled by a she-wolf. The men would sacrifice a goat, don its skin, and run around, hitting women with small whips, an act which was supposed to ensure fertility.

St. Valentine, Christian Priest:
According to one story, Roman emperor Claudius II imposed a ban on marriages because too many young men were dodging the draft by getting married (only single men had to enter the army). A Christian priest named Valentinus was caught performing secret marriages and sentenced to death. While awaiting execution, young lovers visited him with notes about how much better love is than war — the first valentines. The execution occurred in 269 CE on February 14th.

Another Valentinus was a priest jailed for helping Christians. During his stay he fell in love with the jailers daughter and sent her notes signed from your Valentine. He was eventually beheaded and buried on the Via Flaminia. Reportedly Pope Julius I built a basilica over his grave. A third and final Valentinius was the bishop of Terni and he was also martyred, with his relics being taken back to Terni.

Christianity Takes Over Valentines Day:
In 469, emperor Gelasius declared February 14th a holy day in honor of Valentinus instead of the pagan god Lupercus. This allowed Christianity to take over some of the celebrations of love and fertility which had perviously occurred in the context of paganism. Pagan celebrations were reworked to fit the martyr theme — Christianity did not approve of rituals that encouraged sexuality. Instead of pulling girls names from boxes, both boys and girls chose the names of martyred saints from a box.

Feb.14 tradition is not only unbiblical and un-christian, but also pagan in origin. Apostle Paul gives this strict instruction to the Christians: "In particular, I want to urge you in the name of the lord, not to on living the aimless kind of life that pagans live. Intellectually they are in the dark, and they are estranged from the life of God, without knowledge because they have shut their hearts to it." (Eph. 4:17-18, Jerusalem bible)
