This was an amazing resource for my kids to learn about a different cultures holiday during our reading intervention time. I loved that there were videos so even my kiddos who need assistance in reading could participate independently.

Wild Wonders –
My students loved this resource! Half of my students have family originating or currently in Mexico, so they loved getting to share more of their culture. These slides are visually engaging, the videos are interesting, and it covers the topic very well. These virtual field trips have more information than I have time to go through, so I pick and choose what I need, I wish that the videos could be embedded like they used to be though.

My students enjoyed this resource! It helped connect students with their Spanish speaking peers. It led to great discussions and allowed us to remember our loved ones. Students returned with stories they had at the dinner table with their parents. This is a wonderful resource.
