Middle School in the Lab

Students in Spanish II utilize the green screens in the STEAM lab to star in their very own cooking shows. Students created authentic Hispanic recipes and utilized their Spanish language skills.

Middle School spanish students get creative!

All middle school students taking Spanish had the opportunity to utilize project-based learning by creating their very own piñatas! This year's creations were large, creative, and fun! Click on the video to see the process and the results.

Beginner & Spanish I utilize project-based learning

​Spanish I and Beginner's Spanish are creating a Guatemalan Barrilete to celebrate Hispanic Heritage month.  They have been researching and learning all about this Guatemalan custom.  In Steam they are given a limited supplies list.  Their challenge is to create a Barrilete that can fly for up to 30 seconds, contains a minimum of 3 colors and must contain a message from each member of the group about Hispanic Heritage month to fly up to the ancestors.

​In Spanish II the students have been researching Hispanic individuals that have had a positive impact on the world. At the same time they were learning about the Mexican Luchadores and their importance to the Mexican culture.  Instead of creating a traditional research paper, the students were tasked with turning their influential Hispanic individual into a Luchadore.  The costuming, presentation, and symbolisms, all have to pertain to their research.  In STEAM class the students are working on Tinkercad to create a symbol that best represents their Luchadore. These were printed on the 3D printers and used in their presentations.
