We started the year in a festive spirit as middle school students in Spanish classes honored the legacy of Hispanic people and culture. Sixth graders learned about Hispanic countries, capitals, flags, and Latinx contributions to the United States. Seventh graders worked on Latinx biographies, and eighth graders researched events and local news to celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month. Each of the grades shared their work on the bulletin board as you enter the BARN. Be sure to check it out on your next visit!
Many of our Spanish students will also be participating in the 5th Annual Watertown Zine Fest on Saturday, October 18. The students are creating zines on the theme of Dia de Muertos (Day of the Dead). Join us next week at the Watertown Library to see their great work!
