Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

We are a Dual Immersion classroom, besides learning the language, we also learn about the culture. We will be using these materials to make cultural appropriate crafts and artifacts to celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month, and Day of the Dead. The students will be practicing the language as we work on these projects, from using their vocabulary to ask for materials, to explaining the process as to how they did their project. I also included classroom rewards in Spanish which will encourage the student's interest in reading and comprehension in the partner language.
