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

The art and craft materials I am requesting will be used to create people and animal puppets. The students will use the puppets in a puppet show where the characters speak Spanish.

Creating the puppet show with dialogues in Spanish is giving the opportunity for the students to practice writing and speaking skills and have a fun cultural literary experience.

The main goal is for the students to be able to recreate character puppets based on the imaginary animals and people from the text short story titled "Carnavalito". This is a story that my AP students read in class.

My AP Spanish class is special because they like to go beyond the required course reading list. I like to offer my students additional opportunities to enrich their Spanish cultural practices such as presenting a puppet show for our school Spanish classes community.
