This week, we will continue practicing listening and reading skills, and at the same time, we will be working on our class mural. Inspired by Diego Rivera, students will create a mural to celebrate National Hispanic Heritage Month, representing different aspects of Hispanic culture. They have been very excited about this project, and I’m truly enjoying seeing them work as a team and learn about art.
 
Thank you for your continued support!
