What a beautiful day we had at the Heifer
International
Global Village!
Focusing on the Guatemalan village was a great way to start off Hispanic Heritage Month and our unit Roots: How our cultural "roots" influence who we are. Whether Guatemalan, Salvadorian, Filipino, Ethiopian, Cameroonian, etc. we can learn a lot about our own culture and the culture of others by looking at how a culture's beliefs and values can be shown through its housing, games, food and food preparation, music, etc. I personally enjoyed seeing what serious chefs many of us are and how the older students are already big sisters for the younger students. It was great seeing everyone work together in such a positive and productive way! =)
