#LevelUp We're so proud of the strides our staff members are making! ❤️
After I spearheaded our school's Hispanic Heritage Celebration earlier, I wanted to get a picture with two of my colleagues. Shown here are Shain Bergan, Public Relations Coordinator, and Diane Bosilevac, Coordinator of World Languages—both with Kansas City Public Schools. I am grateful for these two individuals. ¡Muchas gracias por su apoyo! #TeamKCPS Kansas City Public Schools
Here's How the News Networks Are Covering Hispanic Heritage Month
Last year, I made a video about Hispanic Heritage Month for my students, and I thought it might be useful for others too. 🇨🇴🇲🇽🇪🇸🇨🇺🇵🇷 The video explores the contributions of Hispanics and Latinos to culture, history, and society. I’ve used it to introduce the topic in class and start meaningful discussions, and my students really enjoyed it. Here’s some ideas for using it in your classroom: 1. Discussion starter: Use it to introduce Hispanic Heritage Month and talk about why it’s important. 2. Project inspiration: Have students create presentations or projects based on the people and events in the video. 3. Cultural exploration: Tie it into a broader lesson on the customs and traditions of Spanish-speaking countries. If anyone’s looking for resources to celebrate this month, feel free to check it out! 😊 I’d love to hear how others are incorporating Hispanic Heritage Month in their classrooms. https://lnkd.in/g-dKNxHk
