We chose Hispanic countries that were represented by the Mitchell community. The students will do activities about the countries in Spanish, music, art and physical education classes. We will also talk about Hispanic cultures, indigenous cultures and immigration. If your family is from one of these countries and you would like to come in to share about your country, culture or language with students please contact me. We will also put links for books, songs and resources on this web page: https://sites.google.com/a/aaps.k12.mi.us/mitchell-media-center/hispanic-heritage-month At the end of October students will present about what they have learned. We are very excited about this new unit!
