Congratulations to Ms. Beatriz Urrejola & her students from Morningside Middle School in North Charleston, SC! She has won a Personajes del mundo hispánico collection for submitting the BEST pictures of her classroom celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month!

Ms. Urrejola couldn’t take her students to Chile to celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month, so she brought Chile to them! They celebrated Chile’s Independence Day by dancing the national dance, La Cueca, and playing with the Chilean traditional toy, El Emboque. We love this unique take on Hispanic Heritage Month and would like to thank Ms. Urrejola for sharing the celebration with all of us here on Plaza Santillana! To view all of the pictures, click here.

Les voy a presentar mi actividad favorita para celebrar el 12 de Octubre con los salones de tercer grado. Para que los niños se aprendan el nombre de los personajes y datos históricos de la historia del navegante más famoso de las Américas, ¡yo utilizo la Salsa!

Existe una canción del cantautor Oscar de León que describe la famosa travesía. Se trata de la canción Cristobal Colón. La pueden ver en youtube:

Utilizamos una gráfica (KWL chart) donde anotamos lo que los estudiantes saben, lo que quieren saber, y lo que aprendieron al final de la lección. Discutimos las palabras de vocabulario de la canción que puedan resultar desconocidas (carabelas, occidente, genovés, almirante, teoría, alhajas). Es imprescindible utilizar un mapa para mostrar los lugares que Colón visitó en sus viajes. Los estudiantes pueden buscar por internet información de estas regiones.
