The art supplies allow my students to express their creativity while learning about Hispanic culture. For example, they use paints, markers, and paper to create traditional crafts like papel picado and cultural posters, which help them connect language learning with authentic cultural practices.\r\n\r\nThe UNO cards and Jenga games have been incredible tools for making language practice fun and meaningful. We use UNO to reinforce colors, numbers, and conversational phrases in Spanish, turning vocabulary review into a lively game. Jenga is perfect for speaking activities—each block has a question or prompt written in Spanish, so students practice forming sentences and engaging in dialogue as they play. These games create a low-pressure environment where students feel comfortable speaking and collaborating.\r\n\r\nYour support has transformed my classroom into a dynamic learning community. Students are excited to participate, and these resources help them build confidence in their language skills while enjoying the process.
