In celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month, Mrs. Rhodes’ 1st grade class explored the beautiful country of El Salvador, where Mrs. Rhodes’ family is from! The students enjoyed a special visit from “ Buela” Mrs. Rhodes’ mom, who shared her culture by teaching the class how to make delicious pupusas, a traditional Salvadoran dish. It was a fun and meaningful way for students to learn about family traditions, culture, and the importance of celebrating our heritage!
