Hispanic Heritage Month in Specials

For Hispanic Heritage Month, the Specialist Team planned a day of rotations to give students a taste of how traditions in Hispanic/Latin cultures have influenced the arts.  



When students visited Specials during their scheduled time, they rotated through four stations.  In Art, classes designed guitars in the style of Pablo Picasso and created fans in the styles of the Aztecs.  

 

In Dance, students learned the Mexican hat dance as they moved around a sombrero.


When grade levels rotated to music, they sang and played hand instruments as well as learned a traditional song to use for rhythm games.




In PE, students participated in soccer drills and discussed the importance of "futbol" in Hispanic traditions.
