The other Spanish teacher at my school and I put on a little festival for the whole school, using Cinco de Mayo as our excuse for having our students research some aspect of some Latin American (or Spanish) culture and present what they learned in little "booths."
It went well, and I think it did a lot of the kids good to realize that not all Latinos are Mexicans, for one. Teachers loved bringing their classes, and they usually learned something too!
My question is, should we do it again? Don't worry, we will be using the date of the victory at Puebla again. However, our school year's divided 2.
We were thinking of doing something during Hispanic Heritage Month (9/15-10/15), but would it be overkill to do the same kind of thing? Should we do something different to meet the research, sharing, & celebration requirements? Maybe something like they do for Native American month: little known facts during announcements?
I'm open to suggestions!
