Our Spanish Language team is doing exciting things in the classroom, from dancing to reading stories in Spanish to elementary dual language classes!
Ms. Dacarett shared the following:
Spanish 2 & 3 PreAP End of the Year Projects:
My Spanish 3 Pre-Ap did independent projects on Hispanic Culture. They had 14 topics to pick from. Their personalities shinned through. Some choose woks of art or other composers and recreated their pieces, some cooking Hispanic dishes sharing with other students or their family members to have their feedback some even interviewed people in Spanish and they all reported back to us. We got some awesome work.
My Spanish 2 PreAp wrote Children's books in Spanish, two classes read them in person to Gattis Dual Language classes, My other 2 classes did google hangouts. The Cedar Ridge students were amazed by the Dual Language Program at Gattis and how those students ability in Spanish is so impressive. Also the Gattis Dual Language 5th graders did a research study of the importance of learning another language and they shared this with our students.

Ms. Lone shared the following piece and pictures:
Ms. Lone talked to her Spanish 3, Spanish 3 PreAP and AP students about the importance of dance and music in latin cultures. Students then learned the basic steps of merengue, salsa, cumbia and bachata this past week. She collaborated with one of Ms. Colenda's class because many of her students are new arrivals from Spanish speaking countries and wanted to help teach something that is an essential part of their lives. And the other classes learned to dance from Ms. Lone with the help of video tutorials. All the students participated and were excited to learn more about the history and culture of dance and music. They had a blast!

Ms. Lone also shared the following piece and pictures:
This was May 3th, the day of the AP Spanish Language and Culture Exam. I provided my students breakfast at 6:30am. I made breakfast tacos, brought fruit, juice, coffee and assorted baked goods. I wanted to ensure that they were here early and ready to take on the very challenging exam. All the kids were excited and felt very prepared. They worked really hard all year!!!
