🌎🍌 A Taste of Culture in Spanish Class! 🍌🌎
Last week at BMS, Spanish 1 students got a hands-on lesson in Latin American cuisine! Ms. Alaniz and Mr. Rye teamed up to introduce students to plantains, a staple in many Spanish-speaking countries. Students learned how plantains can be cooked and even got to sample a fried plantain paired with Jarritos, a traditional Mexican soda.
What a fun and delicious way to bring language and culture to life! 🎉✨ #WBSDCulture #SpanishClass #HandsOnLearning #TasteTheWorld
