From Ms. Vazquez - Spanish
The time has come to celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month!
We want to invite you all to be part of the amazing activities we have planned for this year!
1) Hispanic Heritage Spirit Week: September 19th- 23rd
2) Door Decoration Contest: We invite you to add some color to "our house" by participating with your 1st-period class in decorating your doors! The theme is “Unidos: Inclusivity for a Stronger Nation.". The theme encourages us to ensure that all voices are represented and welcomed to help build stronger communities and a stronger nation. There will be prizes for First, Second and Third Place. If you have an office, you are more than welcome to decorate your doors, too! There will be prizes for you, too! They will be judged on Friday, September 30th.
3) The ABCs of HHM Exhibition: In this exhibition, Latinos in Action students will share important facts about a Hispanic for each letter of the alphabet.
4) Wax Museum: Hispanic Heritage Exhibition: Thursday, October 6th from 9:00 am to 9:20 am in the courtyard. Yes! Wax Museum is back for the third year in a row, and I would love you to be part of it!
5) Spanish Spelling Bee: Friday, October 14th from 9:25 am to 12:30 pm. Please, help me spread the word!
Thank you in advance for all your support!!!!
Kindest Regards,

From Ms. Erickson and Ms. Delgado
Here are a couple of pictures of an activity we did in seventh-grade math in Ms. Delgado's class.
It is a Kagan strategy called "Quiz Quiz Trade," and the students were reviewing changing decimals to percentages.
From Ms. Rawlings - Latinos In Action
In Latinos in Action, communication is key. We are learning how to communicate using the game, Headbands.

That's how it works: our dragons will bring their donation to the cafeteria during lunchtime. We will have 3 buckets (1 per grade level) and another set at the front office. Bring as much as you wish to donate. PTSA volunteers will be there to collect your donations every day.
