Abstract

Dear Professional Educator: The appearance of the elementary classroom has changed much within the past few decades. Bulletin boards come alive with interactive ideas. Learning centers can be found throughout the room. Computers and other technological devices provide other avenues for extended learning. However, probably one of the greatest differences is actually found among the students themselves. They are so varied! Today, our students bring different cultures, different beliefs, and even different languages to our classrooms!As elementary teachers, it is our goal to meet the needs of each student, but sometimes this can be a challenge. I have created this resource packet for teachers who desire to celebrate and understand the Hispanic culture. I hope that you will gain ideas, factual knowledge, and most importantly, a deeper appreciation for one of the most lovable cultures upon this beautiful planet that we call earth. Miss Emily Neal.
