Crêpe Day 2026
Crêpe Day 2026
To celebrate National French Week (November 4-10), students in Mr. Zawislak's French 7 class participated in a cultural cooking lesson co-taught with Ms. Norton, our Family and Consumer Sciences teacher. Mr. Zawislak started the lesson by describing the cultural importance of crêpes, the ingredients and the history behind this delicacy. Ms. Norton explained the different cooking procedures for the lesson and students used basic French commands to tell her how to make a crêpe. Throughout the lesson, students learned new vocabulary for the food ingredients and French terms that are used in cooking practices. As students prepared their crêpes, they worked collaboratively in groups and were each given a specific role to perform. At the end of class, students got to enjoy their delicious creations. Thank you to Mr. Zawislak and Ms. Norton for providing our Grand Avenue students with this authentic and engaging learning experience!
El Día de los Muertos
7th grade students in Sr. Arias' Spanish class learned about the history and traditions of El Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead). Students explored the cultural similarities and differences between how Halloween is celebrated in the United States and how El Día de los Muertos is celebrated in Mexico. The lesson ended with a fun, hands-on activity where students created their own colorful calacas, the colorful skulls inspired by this important Mexican tradition!
Spanish Students Celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month
To celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month (September 15th - October 15th), Grand Avenue students participated in a variety of activities in their Spanish class. In Mr. Arias's Spanish 7 class, students learned about the traditional Mexican game, Lotería, which is played during holidays and celebrations. Students created their own version of a Lotería card and then participated in this activity either by serving as the card caller or competing against their classmates. In Mrs. Yaltzindeg's 7th and 8th grade Spanish classes, students learned about famous Hispanics and their contributions to society. Students were given puzzle pieces that they brought together to form a mural depicting many of these noteable Hispanic figures. In Mrs. O'Connor's Spanish 7 and 8 classes, students learned about "papel picado," a traditional Mexican folk art that features colorful sheets of tissue paper, plastic, or foil with intricate, hand-cut geometric and figurative designs. Students had the opportunity to create their own papel picado and they also researched famous Hispanic figures and created visual presentations to represent their contributions to society.

Mr. Zawislak and Family and Consumer Sciences teacher Ms. Norton co-planned a cultural cooking experience for students-making crêpes. Students learned about how crêpes are prepared, including how to set up a proper mise en place. Mr. Zawislak spoke about the story behind crepes and how to give the recipe's directions in French. The students then put Ms. Norton to work as they used French to tell the steps for making the crêpes. In small groups, students were each assigned a role in prepping the crêpes - slicing fruit, adding chocolate syrup and toppings, and clean up. The final treat was eating the delicious crêpes that everyone had helped make.

Spanish Students Support Builders Club project for Letters Against Isolation
Spanish Students Support Builders Club project for Letters Against Isolation
This year, the Builders Club of Grand Avenue worked on a community service project with the organization Letters Against Isolation, in which students wrote letters to senior citizens in nursing homes. Club advisor and Spanish teacher Mr. Doherty noticed a need for letters to be written to Spanish-speaking residents, which served as a great opportunity for his students to put their Spanish to use in a very meaningful way. As a mini review activity, Mr. Doherty’s students wrote to the residents in Spanish, allowing them to use the language authentically. Students were excited to participate in an activity that not only showcased how much they had learned, but also brought cheer to senior citizens across the country. Thank you to Mr. Doherty and his students for doing something special for others! See photos below.

The week was filled with fun activities both during CARES Connect Advisory and in world language classes. During the morning advisory sessions, students talked about why it is important to learn another language by sharing their own experiences in learning another language at GAMS, speaking a language at home, or even practicing a new language with Duo Lingo! Following sessions included "Two Truths and a Lie" featuring world language teachers, a Wordle, Guess the Flag, and a "Would You Rather...?" discussion that focused on world travel.
