El Mes de la Herencia Hispana : Hispanic Heritage Month
I am excited about moving forward with our current Spanish lessons on el horario escolar (the school schedule), dias de la semana, meses, el tiempo, numeros y mucho mas!
However we are also learning about Hispanic Heritage Month! Hispanic heritage is not something to be discussed only a month out of the year, we are everywhere all the time 🙂 Today in class we listened to a Telemundo newscast to see if they could understand what was being said. I was excited to hear several students have watched Telemundo at home! It is important for students to realize Spanish is not just in my classroom, it is EVERYWHERE!
We then watched a second video about immigration (Both video links below)
It sparked a contagious conversation about where I come from and the difference in cultures.
I assigned homework :
#1) Ask you parents about their heritage
#2) Ask your parents if there were any cultural differences among their heritage and their interactions at Quest and in the USA
As always, please reach out if you have any questions!
