Celebrating Traditions & Hispanic Heritage

This month is Hispanic Heritage month. We will learn about Hispanic cultures and do a project on a Hispanic figure in America. Additionally, we'll be reading about a variety of other cultures and traditions. Students will present information about their own cultures and traditions. If you would like to share any artifacts, food, traditional or ceremonial clothing, language, and money samples; our class will be richer as a result. I have already been blessed with Chinese and Lebanese food! Thank you also for sharing Chinese candy and cake this year. Additional thanks goes for those who have already shared artifacts and money samples for our lessons. Thank you again for all of your support. Click links below:
