Spanish Heritage Month

On Friday, October 2nd 2015, Ms Forestell’s and Ms Hamilton’s ELD classes celebrated Spanish Heritage Month by inviting guests to their classroom. Erika Pinzon, Reynolds ELD Parent & Community Liaison (Spanish) brought two parents, Graciela Hernandez and Gloria Pacheaco , to honor and celebrate our Spanish speaking community. We learned how to make tortillas from corn flour (maize) and an authentic, and spicy, salsa using a stone mortar and pestle. The afternoon included playing a family game from Mexico called “La Loteria” and, of course, a game of soccer, or fotbol. We hope this will be the beginning of an annual celebration at HB Lee Middle School.
