Cultural Presentations

My junior high kids did their cultural presentations today. They were so great! I was thoroughly impressed and loved the fact that I didn't have to write any lesson plans. Some of them studied a Spanish-speaking country and brought in memorabilia, some studied Spanish artists or historical figures, others brought in some food and told the history behind it. We ate salsa (who knew that it dates back to the Mayans?), gazpacho from Spain, flan and Mexican wedding cookies. Yum. What a great day! Being a Spanish teacher is so much fun!
