Halloween, Pumpkins, Sugar Skulls...oh my!

It is the end of October, and also, this is one of my favorite seasons to be a Spanish teacher! There are so many resources and fun cultural topics to discuss with students. Let go of the reins, and support students as they explore topics and have fun with videos as well as produce their own creations. Don't forget to learn and share with us! Gracias, y ¡nos compartimos pronto!
