lunes, 5 de octubre

Hope everyone had a good weekend! Today we wrapped up our first round of charlas which we will put on hold for a week. We started our project for Hispanic Heritage Month. Students are working in groups of three to learn about the environmental problems and practices in the Spanish-speaking countries of Mexico, Costa Rica, and Venezuela. The group with the best presentation will give theirs in front of the school at Friday's morning meeting along with student representatives from the other grades in honor of Hispanic Heritage Month. I am very excited to see how these projects develop!

Great job to Troy, Ramsey, and Dakota for getting last week's word of the week! Our new one is posted - keep guessing and expanding your vocabulary!

    Hati Pines 1.the thing i learned about my country is that there are endangered plants and fruits that have a larger population then the native animals living there.
    2.i think we need to have hispanic heritage month because hispanics have contributed lots for there countries and ours and also it's a chance for students to learn more about another culture other than thiers.

    1. I have learned that a lot of environmental groups save tortugas.
    2. I think that it is good that we are learning about this because it shows that we can take care of places that we live now were close to. It show s that we care about the environment.
