WORLD LANGUAGE

Learning Spanish will make us grow stronger

TRADICIONES - TRADITIONS

This month’s Tradiciones will explore eight fascinating countries in North, Central and South America. Along the way, we will learn, sing, explore and celebrate the diversity and richness of Latino cultures. We live in a diverse world made up of many unique people and cultures, that’s what makes our community so special. We will explore and discover our differences and similarities together. We will review in each country some facts that make them special and see some photos, review some of the specials things each one offer, such as food, particular vocabulary, animals, holidays, and some facts about the music, the special musical instruments they used to create it and we will hear a typical song.
