Activities completed in the Club - Part 1

Students participated and created a lot of activities.  They were divided into weeks for easy reading. 


Weeks 1-3:  I shared the schedule with the students and we looked into possible options for our final activity, which is the visit to the restaurant.  We did papel picado and decorated a whole wall with them, and decorated skulls to celebrate the Independence of some Latin American countries.  We also decorated cookies with Hispanic/Latino flags, which they had a blast of fun.

        Weeks 4-6:  We watched a Latin America documentary in which they explained the process of the conquest and talked about food, tourists, and important attractions, as well as music, musical instruments, and famous people.  We had a great discussion about it.  We watched the movie The Book of Life and we talked about the Day of the Dead and why it is important for a lot of Hispanic/Latino countries.  We also bring some popcorn, snacks, and soda for the movie day.  On week 6, we created piñatas filled with candies.  We called some of the staff kids and we shared the piñatas with them and everybody had a blast.  The same students from the club, explain to the kids what piñatas means, the purpose, and the countries involved.

Weeks 16-18:  We made more empanadas, following the food safety protocol.  Students also had a Día del amor y de la amistad day (Valentine’s Day), in which they shared lovely messages to someone important to them, we prepared cards and added candies to them.  We also had a Taco Thursday (instead of a Taco Tuesday).  Students provided the food and
