All this week we were busy with our project for Hispanic Heritage Month. All groups did a great job researching the environmental threats facing their Spanish speaking country. One of our groups even presented to the entire school at morning meeting -- thank you Kai, Ramsey, & Shay! They each receive a Latino treat and a peso for representing our class so well.
We learned that in México, there are many problems with pollution and deforestation. We learned that in Costa Rica eco-tourism and poaching is taking a toll on the country's animal diversity. Finally, we learned that in Ecuador, oil spills have done much damage to their wildlife. Students also researched agencies who are out there trying to make a difference -- like tagging turtles and replanting trees. Thank you, students! I learned a lot this week!
Also -- Bravo to Dakota for getting the work of the week! The new one is already posted. Starting next week, we will continue our work with Animals on the Verge of Extinction and also talking more about irregular verbs.
Have a great weekend!
Paz,
Profe Laura
