Week of Culture

All 6th, 7th, and 8th grade Spanish students are engaging in Hispanic Heritage Week by exploring cultural traditions exclusive to Latinos. Each day we focused on different celebrations. The following was explored this week:

Intermediate I students are continuing learning about "La Quinceañera" and important traditions and rituals surrounding this celebration through various readings, MovieTalks, and speaking activities. See infinite campus for latest assessments.

Novice II Spanish students are investigating "El día de los reyes magos" (Three Kings' Day) and the tradition of "La Siesta" and the roots of this beloved custom. Students engaged in multiple class activities to demonstrate their understanding and make cultural connections. Students also completed a webquest involving many unique celebrations in Spain that have no likeness in the United States.
