Eighth-grade Spanish students in Mrs. Corrigan's class were able to incorporate History with Spanish! In honor of MLK Day on Monday, students were given a few different versions of famous MLK quotes to translate and analyze. After learning online the who, what, when, why of each quote's significance and recognizing vocabulary previously learned, students will apply how MLK's legacy can be applied to the world today. Can't wait to read their responses on how they can be difference makers in 2024! #IPride

8th grade Spanish I students in Mrs. Corrigan's class have been working on a Christmas in the Spanish Speaking World Project. Today they were able to experience a Cultural Foods Day! Students were able to bring in a dish related to the Christmas season for their given country they have been studying to share with the class. Students were able to try out dishes from Puerto Rico, Colombia, Spain and many others. What a fun and delicious way to start the week! 🇵🇷 🇨🇴 🇪🇸
