Students got to practice their Spanish while modeling the latest in fashion!

A1: Being a champion for our students can be as simple as welcoming them each morning with a smile and asking how they are doing, so they know you care and look forward to seeing them.

A2: setting high expectations for all our students let’s them know they are all important and capable of achieving. #CCMSChat #Culturize

A3: My goal this year has been to stay positive no matter the challenges and to start each day smiling (after some coffee). I think modeling forgiveness more often would be a valuable lesson for our students. #CCMSChat #Culturize

A4: Keeping in mind the impact we as teachers can have on kids each day even with just a small word of encouragement, helps me to focus on staying positive. And getting enough sleep helps with positivity too! #CCMSChat #Culturize

Success! The Cookbook y Comer Falcons CARE group delivered cookbooks with Hispanic recipes that they have been working on all year. Great job everyone!

Another Spanish class fashion show complete with skilled models, enthusiastic announcing and fabulous Spanish pronunciation! Great job students!

Spanish fashion show part 2, don’t want to leave out period 2!
