Hola familias,

This is a reminder that the Unified Arts Curriculum Night is tomorrow, Tuesday, March 26th, from 6:00-7:30.  The Spanish portion of the evening will include watching a video of students' recent professional dance lesson and giving it a try for yourselves with the help of some student representatives as instructors.  Hope to see you there.  It should be lots of fun!

Gracias,
Señora Tiernan Fisher

Latin Dance and Music

In 8th grade Spanish we are working on new unit on Latin Dance and Music!  In this unit students will think about and explore the following question: what roles do dance and music play in culture?  We will be listening to a variety of musical genres from all over the Spanish speaking world and learning some of the dances that go along with them.  I'm very excited to share that with the help of a PIE grant a professional dance instructor, Victoria from Salsalina in Burlington, gave us a salsa lesson during this unit!

If you'd like to see a video of our dance lesson and give it a try for yourself with the help of some student leaders, please join us next Tuesday, March 19th for the Unified Arts Curriculum Night from 6:00-7:30.  It's bound to be a fun experience...or at the very least a very entertaining one!

Here are some photos from our lesson.
