Mr. Herre - 6th grade U.S. History

Students chose a famous person of Hispanic heritage to research. While they conducted their research we enjoyed music played in the class from artists of Hispanic heritage. Once they completed, we did a Speed Dating style rotation where students shared about their important figure before rotating to learn about others.

Ms. Leone - Visual Art

During Hispanic Heritage Month, students researched the traditions, celebrations, and clothing of different Hispanic countries. They then designed and created dolls dressed in outfits inspired by the culture of their chosen country. They used a variety of fabrics and materials to bring these ideas to life. This project celebrated cultural diversity while encouraging creativity, research, and artistic expression.
