They established a settlement and named it St. Augustine. These pioneers faced challenges as they built their new home, but they persevered, cultivating the land and creating a community. St. Augustine still exists today and is considered to be the oldest city in the United States.</p><h4 style="text-align: left;">The Feast of 1565</h4><p>On September 8, 1565, Menéndez and his men celebrated a Mass of Thanksgiving. They invited the Timucua people, who were the first inhabitants of the area. </p><p>This was the first time people got together to show they were thankful and to celebrate their beliefs in the first permanent town in North America established by Europeans.</p><h4 style="text-align: left;">A Feast of Unity</h4><p>This feast was not just about sharing food; it was a celebration of unity and friendship. The Spanish settlers invited the local peoples to join them in this moment of gratitude. Together, they sat around tables laden with the fruits of their labor—freshly harvested vegetables, fruits, and the bounty of the sea.</p><h4 style="text-align: left;">A Diverse Menu</h4><p>The menu of this first Thanksgiving in St. Augustine reflected the diverse cultures that came together. The Spanish provided dishes such as paella and cocido, and probably red wine. The Native American contributions were probably turkey, venison, corn, beans, and squash. The exchange of culinary traditions symbolized the blending of two worlds and the birth of a unique cultural heritage.</p><h4 style="text-align: left;">Gratitude and Friendship</h4><p>As the settlers and Native Americans shared this feast, they expressed their appreciation for the blessings of the land and the friendships that had formed. </p><p>This celebration went beyond the simple act of sharing a meal; it marked a commitment to understanding and embracing the differences between their cultures.</p><h4 style="text-align: left;">The Legacy of St. Augustine's First Thanksgiving</h4><p>St. Augustine's first Thanksgiving set the stage for the spirit of gratitude that would come to define the Thanksgiving celebrations we know today. It was a genuine coming together of people from different backgrounds, sharing in a moment of appreciation for the blessings they had received.</p><h4 style="text-align: left;">The Plymouth Feast</h4><p>While the story of the Pilgrims and the first Thanksgiving in Plymouth is well-known, it's essential to recognize the earlier celebration that took place in St. Augustine. As we gather with family and friends each year to give thanks, let's remember the pioneers of St. Augustine, whose feast of unity and gratitude laid the groundwork for a tradition that continues to bring people together across the diverse tapestry of America.</p><p><br /></p><h3 style="text-align: left;">Online Resources</h3><p><br />The best online site for learning about St. Augustine, Don Pedro Menéndez de Avilés, and the Timucua is without a doubt the <a href="https://www.floridamuseum.ufl.edu/staugustine/" target="_blank"><b>Florida Museum's online exhibit</b></a>. </p><p>For critical thinking, check out this article by History.com: <b><a href="https://www.history.com/news/did-florida-host-the-first-thanksgiving" target="_blank">Did Florida Host the First Thanksgiving?</a></b></p><p>For a deep dive into the Timucua, this video: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zuNO8Vh8xb4" target="_blank"><b>Thimogoua: The Timucua People - Deptford & St. John's Culture - Florida & Georgia, USA</b></a> by Jaguar Bird. ** I strongly recommend that parents and teachers preview this video before showing it to their kids.**</p><p><br /></p><h3>Printable Lessons<br /><br /></h3><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/St-Augustine-The-Real-First-Thanksgiving-Reading-Passage-Google-Slides-10551371" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="768" data-original-width="768" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjW9DjPKu5Hn-psn5cJgNeDv1rhQCab9pnENt_75eC7lESXU1lEkRbu51Ajb2I8_mREdnGYYJBMSMv4xCdnz0MxHfWF_rVW5D2qTXxEH8uUmVavWaS4P0LZEE_aKS2vWi2ACj52re2uAljkQkNiEw-TWksLvusBWtZi00uQJzVYrdTILKXX7Poc3ti7-QDn/s320/St-Augustine-Reading-Passage-MommyMaestra.png" width="320" /></a><br /><br /></div><p style="text-align: left;">Florida Museum also has a printable educator's guide called <a href="https://www.floridamuseum.ufl.edu/wp-content/uploads/sites/16/2017/03/First-Colony-exhibit-Educator-Guide.pdf" target="_blank"><b>First Colony: Our Spanish Origins</b></a> that is excellent. </p><p>If you want a simple, print-and-go resource, MommyMaestra's <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/St-Augustine-The-Real-First-Thanksgiving-Reading-Passage-Google-Slides-10551371" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><b>St. Augustine: The Real First Thanksgiving one-page reading passage</b></a> is the way to go.

This year, I'm excited about this sweet potato flan recipe from Ericka at <a href="http://NibblesAndFeasts.com">NibblesAndFeasts.com</a>!<br /><br /><h3 style="text-align: left;">Sweet Potato Flan by Nibbles and Feasts</h3><div><br /></div><div>There are two things I like about this recipe. First, it can be made in advance. If you are like me, then Thanksgiving morning is a crazy day in the kitchen. This flan can be made a day or two in advance and kept in the fridge. <br /><br />Second, you can sub canned sweet potatoes rather than cook them if you are pressed for time. <br /><br />Ericka walks you through the recipe over here on her blog. So <a href="https://nibblesandfeasts.com/2022/11/sweet-potato-flan/">go print off the recipe</a> and try something new this year!<br /><br /><h3 style="text-align: left;">What is Flan?</h3></div><div><br /></div><div><div>If you aren't familiar with flan, the best way I can describe it is that it's a luscious caramel-crowned custard. And its history as rich and diverse as its decadent flavor. </div><div><br /></div><div>This dessert's roots can be traced back to the Roman Empire, where a dish called "tyropatinam" made with honey and milk served as a precursor to the modern flan. The concept traveled through medieval Europe and the Middle East, evolving into various custard-based sweets. </div><div><br /></div><div>However, it wasn't until the spread of Moorish influence in Spain that the dish truly transformed into what we recognize as flan today. The Moors introduced the use of caramelized sugar, a key component that imparts the signature golden hue and rich taste to flan.</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuGeNiT2mcCe_8zXpUsF5bJegxFEXymbJ95caXBqkZb4cFyMl7XV0Hb8NEn1cxjZiMABZ-O-fUXtLw9Xxc1z_tjNiy-SglJtZoiwXy-AbMzPF8l2aKUimV7qDG4RO89_32q5e_nOl2Urknk6puPt_yy4fBjL6qywWi7R00hGSUJox1ngokqraVgbV_Yjk8/s650/History%20of%20flan.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="A typical flan dessert" border="0" data-original-height="400" data-original-width="650" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuGeNiT2mcCe_8zXpUsF5bJegxFEXymbJ95caXBqkZb4cFyMl7XV0Hb8NEn1cxjZiMABZ-O-fUXtLw9Xxc1z_tjNiy-SglJtZoiwXy-AbMzPF8l2aKUimV7qDG4RO89_32q5e_nOl2Urknk6puPt_yy4fBjL6qywWi7R00hGSUJox1ngokqraVgbV_Yjk8/s16000/History%20of%20flan.png" /></a></div><br /><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: left;">Flan in the Americas</h3><div><br /></div><div>As explorers and settlers ventured to the Americas, they brought this sweet tradition with them. In Latin America, flan became a canvas for creative adaptations, blending indigenous ingredients with European culinary techniques. In fact, the dessert took on regional nuances, incorporating local flavors and textures. </div><div><br /></div><div>Today, flan holds a cherished place in the hearts and tables of countless cultures, showcasing the global fusion of culinary influences. Whether served plain, infused with unique flavors, or paired with regional twists like sweet potato, flan continues to be a timeless and beloved treat that transcends borders and centuries.</div><div><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: left;">Exploring Thanksgiving Flavors in Flan</h3></div><div><br />While sweet potato flan is a delightful departure from the traditional pumpkin pie, there are even more Thanksgiving flavors to experiment with in this classic Latin American dessert. <br /><br />Consider infusing your flan with the warm, aromatic essence of cinnamon and nutmeg for a holiday spice kick. Alternatively, try incorporating the rich, toasty notes of pecans or walnuts to add a satisfying crunch. For a citrusy twist, consider infusing the custard with orange or lime zest, providing a refreshing contrast to the sweet potato base. <br /><br />These creative variations not only pay homage to Latin culinary traditions but also offer a unique and delicious spin on the classic flan, making your Thanksgiving celebration a truly memorable one.<br /><br /></div><div><h3 style="text-align: left;">More Latin-Inspired Thanksgiving Recipes</h3><br />This post is part of a series of Thanksgiving Day recipes with a cultural twist shared each year during Thanksgiving week here on MommyMaestra. <br /><br />To view other delicious recipes, follow our <a href="http://www.mommymaestra.com/search/label/Thanksgiving%20Break%20Specials">Thanksgiving Break Specials</a>.<br /><div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><h3 style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; margin: 0px; position: relative;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Other Posts You May Enjoy</span></h3><div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13.2px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13.2px;"><ul style="line-height: 1.4; margin: 0.5em 0px; padding: 0px 2.5em;"><li style="margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0px;"><a href="https://www.mommymaestra.com/2010/11/thanksgiving-break-specials-butternut.html" style="color: #02b602; text-decoration-line: none;">Butternut Squash...Tamales?</a><br /><br /></li><li style="margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0px;"><a href="https://www.mommymaestra.com/2010/11/thanksgiving-break-specials-pumpkin.html" style="color: #02b602; text-decoration-line: none;">Pumpkin Empanadas!!</a><br /><br /></li><li style="margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0px;"><a href="https://www.mommymaestra.com/2012/11/thanksgiving-break-specials-camotes-al.html" style="color: #02b602; text-decoration-line: none;">Camotes al chipotle</a><br /><br /></li><li style="margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0px;"><a href="https://www.mommymaestra.com/2010/11/thanksgiving-break-specials.html" style="color: #02b602; text-decoration-line: none;">Roast Turkey with Port Wine Guava Glaze</a></li></ul></div></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div></div></div>Monicahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06041126951936785258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5898220076341373833.post-85230270719311292412023-10-09T07:00:00.001-04:002023-10-09T07:00:00.143-04:00Get Loud! for Hispanic Heritage<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjniXk6hYK4QAqNjIzAlrF6gbXli0btT-l1j0C2_sAppnwnNd4xtAkWp4aEd3pSxrrFNbsPq2rEGZ6AS9Ttmhali5RHjJpPf8fHc8OLBmNBBw2lwQS2QogNHwa1yGtAEuK9BySKQGno7pz74iNJPHuqeNUKdumBL8812RE24KZaj1xIxIsqYEh0J8OtZOVA/s650/Get%20Loud%201.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Get Loud! bilingual word guessing game for families" border="0" data-original-height="561" data-original-width="650" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjniXk6hYK4QAqNjIzAlrF6gbXli0btT-l1j0C2_sAppnwnNd4xtAkWp4aEd3pSxrrFNbsPq2rEGZ6AS9Ttmhali5RHjJpPf8fHc8OLBmNBBw2lwQS2QogNHwa1yGtAEuK9BySKQGno7pz74iNJPHuqeNUKdumBL8812RE24KZaj1xIxIsqYEh0J8OtZOVA/s16000/Get%20Loud%201.png" /></a></div><br /><i style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13.2px;"><br /></i><p></p><p><i style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The following post is in collaboration with <a href="https://tragosgame.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Tragos</a>.

And even if you consider yourself pretty knowledgeable, you may still need to look up a few.</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpo68GNRh1WGdQejdeIbSISxhOEPk1ujk2n43v3v0YdPd56v_p1lY15zSEssxnQqFQwWOS3G0ubnEqSkDOOUVASf7-BnpG4P7Be2zDQ7cNiGo7XipSITanLFM-_WHnBoShcR42dYU6PLgc9pMkHhhdiRjm_d8CySCK73pKRSlu2F7MnukzBpmVe227a6g-/s800/Get%20Loud%205.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="¡Get Loud! word game for Hispanic Heritage Month." border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="800" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpo68GNRh1WGdQejdeIbSISxhOEPk1ujk2n43v3v0YdPd56v_p1lY15zSEssxnQqFQwWOS3G0ubnEqSkDOOUVASf7-BnpG4P7Be2zDQ7cNiGo7XipSITanLFM-_WHnBoShcR42dYU6PLgc9pMkHhhdiRjm_d8CySCK73pKRSlu2F7MnukzBpmVe227a6g-/w640-h480/Get%20Loud%205.png" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><h3>The Diversity</h3><div>I like the diversity of Hispanic cultures that are represented in this game deck. From Puerto Rico to Colombia to Peru, there are references to foods, people, words, and more.</div><div><br /></div><div>But the game also comes with different levels of difficulty. The cards are color coded: red and yellow with simpler words and references for younger players, or blue and green for more challenging words that adults are more likely to know. They include topics such as history, travel, and pop culture.<br /><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEieMIGcTai7QVNxlK5JGMRRpvbEQ-QspYPSaWHt79hC0SVl8iftZZX4mWtcf-QG986pv9gIkeAK3zxSJWZjBJdZ96kvD4fAYC0XuDhLnx-oYYUZzpMEJ-P6x9k-EBIp9y6YXHw0l6RY06RN3hN0ULxkQii7aLssGCT5pcI8RWmoeweNnzGVYB4G6Hk2wBkF/s800/Get%20Loud%204.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="¡Get Loud! word game helps boost Spanish vocabulary." border="0" data-original-height="567" data-original-width="800" height="454" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEieMIGcTai7QVNxlK5JGMRRpvbEQ-QspYPSaWHt79hC0SVl8iftZZX4mWtcf-QG986pv9gIkeAK3zxSJWZjBJdZ96kvD4fAYC0XuDhLnx-oYYUZzpMEJ-P6x9k-EBIp9y6YXHw0l6RY06RN3hN0ULxkQii7aLssGCT5pcI8RWmoeweNnzGVYB4G6Hk2wBkF/w640-h454/Get%20Loud%204.png" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div><h3 style="text-align: left;">It's Bilingual!</h3><br />And I think that the best part of this game is that it can easily be played in either English or Spanish.

By mastering a broad <i>lexicon </i>😃, our kids can articulate their ideas with confidence and precision, whether in written assignments, discussions, or presentations. The ability to choose the most appropriate words enhances communication and promotes self-expression.</div><div><br /></div><div>Vocabulary development also goes hand in hand with critical thinking skills.

Reading exposes kids to diverse vocabulary in context, fostering word acquisition and understanding of nuanced meanings. Discussing unfamiliar words during reading sessions really helps solidify their usage and encourages curiosity.<br /><br /></li><li><b>Word Games and Puzzles</b><br />Make vocabulary-building fun by incorporating word games and puzzles into your homeschool routine. Crossword puzzles, word searches, and word association activities engage my kids in an interactive and enjoyable way. These games not only reinforce vocabulary knowledge but also strengthen memory retention and cognitive skills.<br /><br /></li><li><b>Vocabulary Journals and Flashcards</b><br />Encourage your kids to maintain a vocabulary journal where they can jot down new words, their definitions, and example sentences. Reviewing the journal regularly helps reinforce retention and serves as a handy reference tool. Additionally, creating flashcards with new words and definitions can turn vocabulary practice into a portable learning experience. I haven't done this very much with my son, and I wish I had. But you'll see below how beneficial it is. </li></ol><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlxSogb0xdgNeC4kxW2kIV4RgPD-30ZSDv0MUQNn0nL72L5Q2WWLsubTwcPoGzOFuvEYSYG1sbhxlS-z_AubLE_uRtPHFAbzVEsx4t-z0LpSGM89-jLZCoUte0khb1aNHLshb3ptpFBGTgxupEJrceiN7FphBNijCQDeEHwCxjObQO87XC0itim4m0Peos/s1711/courses.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Wordela Homeschool has several vocab courses to choose from." border="0" data-original-height="719" data-original-width="1711" height="268" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlxSogb0xdgNeC4kxW2kIV4RgPD-30ZSDv0MUQNn0nL72L5Q2WWLsubTwcPoGzOFuvEYSYG1sbhxlS-z_AubLE_uRtPHFAbzVEsx4t-z0LpSGM89-jLZCoUte0khb1aNHLshb3ptpFBGTgxupEJrceiN7FphBNijCQDeEHwCxjObQO87XC0itim4m0Peos/w640-h268/courses.png" width="640" /></a></div><div><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: left;">Introducing Wordela Homeschool: A Vocabulary-Building App</h3></div></div><div><a href="https://bit.ly/whsihn%20" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Wordela Homeschool</a> is an innovative app designed to enhance vocabulary skills through an engaging and personalized learning experience.

He simply logs in to the dashboard and selects a word list. From there, he can choose how he wants to learn. There are four options:</div><div><ol style="text-align: left;"><li>AutoLearn™</li><li>Smart Flashcards</li><li>Review</li><li>Zspell</li></ol>AutoLearn™ presents you with the definition, and you have to select the correct vocabulary word. From what we can tell, it presents 10 words at a time before introducing new vocabulary. </div><div><br /></div><div>Smart Flashcards give you the word on a digital flashcard and then you can "flip it over" and see the definition. This one is great for studying.</div><div><br /></div><div>Review is really cool. It begins by giving you the basics: the word, definition, part of speech and additional definitions (if there's more than one). But what makes this option stand out is that you can select from the Dictionary, Wiktionary, or Wikipedia, and scroll around to read more information about the word. It also lets you track your progress with that word so you can see how you're doing with it. </div><div><br /></div><div>And finally, there's Zspell, which is just a really fun way to learn. It's basically a typing game and you "shoot" the spaceships and missiles by typing the word as it falls to the ground. Gamification at its best. :) My 17yo loves it, which I think is hilarious because it's like that first video game from when I was a kid called Space Invaders. </div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeSb-_97mZQ6197jdHW2MNyS-hmwaf6ppGeK5J0m3OzGjLb4a1Oiklz94VDMNVcrQ5vaQFeNR2MZWyeYBiQtp2vj8fG0pzkQCkyf1uCyY7w5IMoIiOSyTe9dQagum6M-cd-fF43kPPhCCywrkb6DTbcqtg2R3YFcEWptWN3HeYxoqb0lOwP02WCPUgI6h7/s867/Zspell.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Zspell from Wordela Homeschool makes vocabulary building fun!" border="0" data-original-height="867" data-original-width="650" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeSb-_97mZQ6197jdHW2MNyS-hmwaf6ppGeK5J0m3OzGjLb4a1Oiklz94VDMNVcrQ5vaQFeNR2MZWyeYBiQtp2vj8fG0pzkQCkyf1uCyY7w5IMoIiOSyTe9dQagum6M-cd-fF43kPPhCCywrkb6DTbcqtg2R3YFcEWptWN3HeYxoqb0lOwP02WCPUgI6h7/s16000/Zspell.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div><br /></div><div><b><br /></b></div><div><b>Actually, Wordela Homeschool is owned by the same company that created <a href="https://www.mommymaestra.com/2022/04/homeschool-typing-program.html">Typsey Homeschool</a>! </b>So if you are a Typesy fan, you will probably love this program, too. </div><div><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: left;">Create Your Own Word Lists</h3><div><br /></div><div>The best part of this program, in my opinion, is that you can create your own word lists based on your child's interests or studies.

While grammar rules and vocabulary are essential, the ability to engage in meaningful conversations is what truly solidifies language skills. By encouraging your child to engage in regular conversation practice, you provide them with opportunities to enhance their speaking and listening abilities, develop confidence, and gain a deeper understanding of the language. Conversations allow for real-life application, enabling your child to express their thoughts, ask questions, and engage in cultural exchange. So, encourage your child to converse in Spanish as much as possible, whether it's with you, their peers, or native speakers. It's through conversation that they'll truly embrace the beauty of the language and unlock the doors to a world of new experiences.<div><br />This month, we're sharing a roundup of great resources from MommyMaestra sponsor <a href="https://www.mommymaestra.com/2023/04/april-roundup-of-spring-activities-in.html#">Spanish for</a><a href="https://bit.ly/2TKUR4H"> You!</a> This roundup of free activities is focused on conversation practice and they can be found here on MommyMaestra:</div><div><span face="Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13.2px;"><br /></span></div><div><ul style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.4; margin: 0.5em 0px; padding: 0px 2.5em; text-align: left;"><li><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><a href="https://www.mommymaestra.com/2017/05/free-download-restaurant-conversation.html">Restaurant Conversation Activity</a><br /><br /></span></span></li><li><span style="font-family: inherit;"><a href="https://www.mommymaestra.com/2020/09/freebie-spanish-lesson-on-giving.html">Telling Others to Do Things</a><br /><br /></span></li><li><span style="font-family: inherit;"><a href="https://www.mommymaestra.com/2020/01/free-download-spanish-speaking-countries.html">Spanish Speaking Countries Word Search</a> <br /></span></li></ul><div><br /></div><br /><div><b>For additional conversation practice activity ideas</b>, check out these great posts on Spanish for You!</div><div><br /><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><a href="https://spanish-for-you.com/spanish-conversation-activity-using-flashcards/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Conversation Activity Using Flashcards</a><br /><br /></li><li><a href="https://spanish-for-you.com/spanish-conversation-building-idea-write-skits/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Conversation Building Idea: Writing Skits</a><br /><br /></li><li><a href="https://spanish-for-you.com/spanish-conversation-card-activity/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Conversation Card Activity</a></li></ul></div><div><br /><h3 style="text-align: left;">Budget-Friendly Spanish Learning Program</h3><div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13.2px;"><span face="Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif"><br /></span></div>Remember!

As a result, I found myself struggling to pass on my heritage to my children. I was really, really sad that they couldn't experience the same cultural traditions that I did as a child. I did my best to look for resources and events to share with them, but wasn't having much luck. </p><p>I worried and fretted that they wouldn't learn to love the beauty of their Spanish & Mexican heritage. So when we were thrust into homeschooling (long story that you can read about elsewhere), I realized that maybe the best way to teach my kids was with printable reading passages, activities, games, and more. </p><p>I began researching and writing and designing. I made resources to use with my kids and then slowly began making them available to other families, who I thought might be struggling like I was.<br /></p><p>And then, I decided to keep researching and expand my education materials to include other Hispanic backgrounds and cultures, such as Puerto Rico, Cuba, and so on.</p><p>These materials have sold really well on TpT over the years. But I've been worried that my resources aren't really reaching their intended audience: Hispanic families. I love that teachers are using them in classooms, but I worry about the families like mine who need access to products that help them pass on their culture and raise children who are proud of their heritage.</p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><b>Hispanic Heritage Studies</b></h3><p>Early this year, a tiny idea found its way into my head. It's been growing, and growing, and growing until I finally decided to just go for it. And just like that, <a href="https://www.hispanicheritagestudies.com/waitlist/founding-member-launch" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Hispanic Heritage Studies</a> was born. </p><p>My vision for this program goes like this: <br /></p><p>The <b>Hispanic Heritage Studies</b> program itself will consist of themed modules, including:</p><p></p><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>Spanish-Speaking Countries, </li><li>Holidays & Traditions, </li><li>Food, </li><li>Art, </li><li>Music, and</li><li>Historical Figures (actually, these will be broken up into separate modules: Musicians, Artists, Writers, etc.)</li></ul><p></p><p>Each module will come with a lesson plan and additional resources that you can print, click on, make, watch, etc. all of which help teach the theme of the module. So you can use the lesson plan or just use the printable resources. Whatever works for your family.</p><p>Each theme will include learning resources for K-12th and broken down into the following grades:</p><p></p><ol style="text-align: left;"><li>K - 2nd</li><li>3rd - 5th</li><li>6th - 8th</li><li>9th - 12th</li></ol><div>Does this sound interesting to you?</div><div><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: left;">Become a Founding Member</h3><div>I have already begun assembling my team to work on this program. </div><div><br /></div><div>I would love to invite you to <b><a href="https://www.hispanicheritagestudies.com/waitlist/founding-member-launch" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">join us as a Founding Member</a></b>. This select group will be the first ones to use my program. And I'm relying on these Founding Members to help shape the vision of this program by telling me what works, what doesn't, and what they'd like to see on it.</div><p></p><div>As a Founding Member you'll have access with the lowest introductory pricing locked at $15/month or $150 for LIFETIME access, and for all the future bonuses we add, you'll get those, too. These rates and resources are only for Founding Members and will only be available until this Wednesday at 11:59pm CT <span style="color: #cc0000;">OR UNTIL</span> we reach the number limit.</div><div><br /></div><div>I’m limiting the number of Founding Members in order to be able to work with them personally to get feedback.

But while every capybara has teeny tiny ears and a gigantic nose, this endearing capybara happens to love poetry and the opera, and even dressing up as a whale! He speaks candidly about his experiences and feelings, and he likes to find common ground with others, like his best friend, a little bird. Although he may appear to be a tough guy, he still likes cuddles and care. </p><p style="text-align: center;"><b><br /></b></p><p style="text-align: center;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Capybaras-Blastoff-Readers-Animal-Safari/dp/1600149081?crid=ZH9LA5OFJLFW&keywords=Capybara+Megan+Borgert-Spaniol&qid=1683127882&s=books&sprefix=capybara+megan+borgert-spaniol+%2Cstripbooks%2C109&sr=1-1&linkCode=ll1&tag=l4ll-20&linkId=af48e4ec42b5a79d7a403b220950d092&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl" imageanchor="1" rel="nofollow" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt="Capybara by Megan Borgert-Spaniol" border="0" data-original-height="500" data-original-width="363" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYMQQ8IhWANCwDcu7vZ3tCWj1OGwsSNSy9KJ5wcSk6wNqUwt_mZmRAuOb-_fk9eU__Qs0yQurbDB0Ke_Frk90ypQKbLE1Fz6WGzJef0Vk5QfIb4igxNwJVWisK2pEpcFRVqlwuGfBXoHXEL_Qjmev6Fyiz1Sd8kYcnXkrEmDX8AN9qXsTQdt6gPgS7uw/s16000/Capybaras.jpg" /></a></div><p></p><p style="text-align: center;"><b><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Capybaras-Blastoff-Readers-Animal-Safari/dp/1600149081?crid=ZH9LA5OFJLFW&keywords=Capybara+Megan+Borgert-Spaniol&qid=1683127882&s=books&sprefix=capybara+megan+borgert-spaniol+%2Cstripbooks%2C109&sr=1-1&linkCode=ll1&tag=l4ll-20&linkId=af48e4ec42b5a79d7a403b220950d092&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Capybara</a></b><br />by Megan Borgert-Spaniol </p><p style="text-align: center;">This children's book is part of the "Rain Forest Animals" series and provides an introduction to capybaras for young readers.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Mighty-Capybara-Fascinating-Americas-Largest/dp/B0C1DN6369?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1683046940&sr=1-6&linkCode=ll1&tag=l4ll-20&linkId=c9c79ae955eb7bb4febe1ea02a8c163f&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl" imageanchor="1" rel="nofollow" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt="The Mighty Capybara: The Fascinating World of South America's Largest Rodents" border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1000" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgN7vGF5IvPEPxYiUVqsjbP-zNJgfc6D3w-4nNZYcrsCNCjGvN-pen1vHH0CB9Z8AL9WA4bjo9ecrnIZT6x-2t2L1HTn09WEdLgvH6GGnPYNcpxbSTWzu2gxfRfVprz4Q4n5xjXb0yxJG3BL3lZI5yxOzPeFlvTZR9GwpJICRV3a4kmM1pH6OkgWxK6-Q/w400-h640/The%20Mighty%20Capybara.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><p style="text-align: center;"><b><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Mighty-Capybara-Fascinating-Americas-Largest/dp/B0C1DN6369?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1683046940&sr=1-6&linkCode=ll1&tag=l4ll-20&linkId=c9c79ae955eb7bb4febe1ea02a8c163f&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">The Mighty Capybara: The Fascinating World of South America's Largest Rodents</a></b><br />by Elli River</p><p style="text-align: center;">In this comprehensive and engaging guide, you'll discover everything you need to know about these charming animals, from their physical characteristics and behavior to their cultural significance and ecological importance.

Along the way, he discovers, as everyone must, the depth of his own courage--and his destiny.</div></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Chipis-Shells-Caracolitos-English-Spanish/dp/1594940061?qid=1682971094&refinements=p_27%3AIrania+Maci%C2%ADas+Patterson&s=books&sr=1-3&text=Irania+Maci%C2%ADas+Patterson&linkCode=ll1&tag=l4ll-20&linkId=2b083c23953bc8c21be6a580b994d8ff&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl" imageanchor="1" rel="nofollow" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt="Chipi Chipis, Small Shells of the Sea / Chipi Chipis, Caracolitos Del Mar" border="0" data-original-height="382" data-original-width="500" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOovgpU2y6MFWV5UkOFVairh1OldALlO09udsrublbXV7se3Vc_nIkQpq_sQanoHhDhWT4aMefHAYxpHspWycZpiFkQ4hPyBE962YOAN05XDyL333n-46_5oxPQACMQhFn_t0tYhP85OJgkZg17llleIBD5VDV__jMeNtpai_tClgJn_7S5uxGYkmHbg/s16000/Chipi%20Chipis,%20Small%20Shells%20of%20the%20Sea%20Chipi%20Chipis,%20Caracolitos%20Del%20Mar.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div><b><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Chipis-Shells-Caracolitos-English-Spanish/dp/1594940061?qid=1682971094&refinements=p_27%3AIrania+Maci%C2%ADas+Patterson&s=books&sr=1-3&text=Irania+Maci%C2%ADas+Patterson&linkCode=ll1&tag=l4ll-20&linkId=2b083c23953bc8c21be6a580b994d8ff&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Chipi Chipis, Small Shells of the Sea / Chipi Chipis, Caracolitos Del Mar</a> </b>(bilingual)</div><div>by Irania Macías Patterson</div><div><br /></div><div>Nature, sea and wind take on a life of their own in this beautiful tale inspired by authentic Venezuelan family traditions.

Children's Day was brought to the U.S. in the 1990s and combined with a love of books by the children's author, Pat Mora, who was inspired by the Mexican holiday.</div><div><br /></div><div>In Mexico, El Día del Niño's roots lie in ancient Mesoamerican cultures, and the holiday has evolved into a day of fun activities, special events, and traditions that highlight the importance of children in society.</div><div><br /></div><div>Today, Día de los Niños y Día de los Libros is a time for families and communities to come together to celebrate and cherish the children in their lives and the joy of reading.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Dia-de-los-Ninos-Presentations-for-PowerPoint-Google-Slides-9412735" rel="nofollow" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt="Día de los Niños presentations in PowerPoint and Google Slides in English and Spanish." border="0" data-original-height="650" data-original-width="650" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoLVGkas6A0ZFi09EqG6hW2HILL0BwnIs4Lc2ktsqEbkGOWA5MvlcFl91Xo4N8FOr4iIhKyTlV29JJgKfdoerxESEC20DPJ77Sq3hD_5-2kWAmrjustl_y_vKgaigiNYtz_9Mfqb38HX7sQEloWwdL0Cxva_s7_vXLgx3wByxi6lJ6epVafOV1911ZGA/w400-h400/D%C3%ADa%20PowerPoint%20Preview%201.png" width="400" /></a></div><div><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: left;"><a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Dia-de-los-Ninos-Presentations-for-PowerPoint-Google-Slides-9412735" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Día de los Niños Presentations for PowerPoint & Google Slides</a></h3><div><br /></div><div><div>The best way to introduce a new topic, in my opinion, is when you can start with a visual presentation that explains the key points.

Selena came from a family of musicians and she began performing with her family's band, <i>Selena y Los Dinos, </i>when she was only 8 years old. As she grew up, she became the lead vocalist of the group and helped to popularize Tejano music, a genre that blends traditional Mexican folk music with country and rock music.</div><div><br />In the early 1990s, Selena began to achieve mainstream success with the release of her album "Entre a Mi Mundo" and her collaboration with fashion designer, Martin Gomez, on a clothing line. She continued to release successful albums, including "Dreaming of You," which was released after she died.</div><div><br />Sadly, when she was only 23 years old, Selena was shot and killed by her former fan club president, Yolanda Saldívar. Her death was widely mourned, and she remains an icon of Latin music and fashion. </div><div><br /></div><div>If you haven't seen it, Selena's life and career were later the subject of a biopic film, "Selena" (1997), starring Jennifer Lopez in the title role.<p></p><h3 style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></h3><h3 style="clear: both; text-align: left;">What is Selena Day?</h3><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Back in 1995, while fans all over the US, Mexico, and throughout Latin America were still grieving the death of their beloved star, George W. Bush (who was at the time the governor of Texas) declared that April 16th, Selena’s birthday, would be an official Texas holiday.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">One of Selena's greatest achievements was breaking barriers in the music industry. As a Latina woman, she faced many challenges, but she never gave up on her dreams. She showed that with hard work and determination, anything is possible.</div><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">In honor of Selena's legacy, many people celebrate her life and music every year on April 16th.

I needed a complete curriculum that not only taught the subject matter that my kids needed to learn, but one that taught ME how to teach THEM. I needed a curriculum that showed me what to do and say. At least until I became comfortable with teaching my children.<br /><br />Fast forward to now. I consider myself a veteran homeschooler. My needs are completely different today. So are the needs of my youngest child. Like all children, he is advanced in some areas and behind in others. That’s okay. He’s learning at his own pace and skill level. <br /><br />But what I want this time around is a customized learning program or curriculum that I can easily modify to meet our needs and supplement our lessons. Homeschool+ has been just that.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibuvskDzoyLqNoTwMzgMAVj4ajRaBw4fgqMCN6DHEpS3617oMZ-7y7jH6wcEUo-HrmbWhZ8DYnnwKfW4snEsavI56zS9Fpq35zByjBXw2nJQLzWbdW3HgNIBOJXLO8C0TVE79S_-_IRcoSxkUNr5AFmNGsL0r8S6ST88wGczQGHDZkmPu129pORbqvOQ/s867/Homeschool+2.jpg"><img alt="Game-based math lesson that teaches numbers 11-20 on Homeschool+" border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibuvskDzoyLqNoTwMzgMAVj4ajRaBw4fgqMCN6DHEpS3617oMZ-7y7jH6wcEUo-HrmbWhZ8DYnnwKfW4snEsavI56zS9Fpq35zByjBXw2nJQLzWbdW3HgNIBOJXLO8C0TVE79S_-_IRcoSxkUNr5AFmNGsL0r8S6ST88wGczQGHDZkmPu129pORbqvOQ/s16000/Homeschool+2.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-a65e0507-7fff-2d27-7258-f2a520383383">Online Homeschool Elementary Curriculum</span></h3><div><br /><span><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><a href="https://www.homeschoolplus.com/?src_tag=aff:HS:iHN:MM&utm_id=2023-03&utm_source=MM&utm_campaign=launch&utm_medium=blog-review" style="text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="color: #1155cc; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; text-decoration-line: underline; text-decoration-skip-ink: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Homeschool+</span></a><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> is a </span><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">new online elementary program</span><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> that comes from the creators of ABCmouse and Adventure Academy.

Nothing scared Julio, not even the ancient human skulls he found. His bravery earned him the boyhood nickname Sharuko, which means brave in Quechua, the language of the Native people of Peru.</i></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13.2px;"><i><br /></i></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13.2px;"><i>At the age of twelve, Julio moved to Lima to continue his education. While in medical school, he discovered an article about the skulls he had found. The skulls had long ago been sent to Lima to be studied by scientists. The article renewed Julio's interest in his ancestry, and he decided to devote his medical skills to the study of Peru's Indigenous history.</i></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13.2px;"><i><br /></i></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13.2px;"><i>Over his lifetime, Julio Tello made many revolutionary discoveries at archaeological sites around Peru, and he worked to preserve the historical treasures he excavated. He showed that Peru's Indigenous cultures had been established thousands of years ago, disproving the popular belief that Peruvian culture had been introduced more recently from other countries. He fostered pride in his country's Indigenous ancestry, making him a hero to all Peruvians. Because of the brave man once known as Sharuko, people around the world today know of Peru's long history and its living cultural legacy.</i></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Kusikiy-Child-Taquile-Mercedes-Cecilia/dp/0984407901?keywords=Kusikiy+A+Child+from+Taquile&qid=1570837999&sr=8-1&linkCode=ll1&tag=l4ll-20&linkId=33d9419d7869878fb5aec76f9488e340&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl" imageanchor="1" rel="nofollow" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt="Kusikiy a Child from Taquile, Peru" border="0" data-original-height="1171" data-original-width="1250" height="375" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgu0q5NIh3ghjLSEoXtPBuWEJLMaPxkt97tGa_MtEZsG5Y86Sw7AYw8BO9PDmaB0I_D8N7vRGMsPGicr4w4uq14J9xwU3e7f0HrZaUkUX275h1MEVY0gGBpUupAo2gGWkI1EixUelG7brmy1-PV2i4u81fjfygg5L1cYUTty_pM9SxAVLzMSpRughthxg/w400-h375/Kusikiy%20a%20Child%20from%20Taquile,%20Peru.jpg" width="400" /></a><br /><br /></div><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Kusikiy-Child-Taquile-Mercedes-Cecilia/dp/0984407901?keywords=Kusikiy+A+Child+from+Taquile&qid=1570837999&sr=8-1&linkCode=ll1&tag=l4ll-20&linkId=33d9419d7869878fb5aec76f9488e340&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl" rel="nofollow" style="text-decoration: none;" target="_blank"><span style="-webkit-text-decoration-skip: none; background-color: transparent; color: #1155cc; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration-skip-ink: none; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre;">Kusikiy a Child from Taquile, Peru</span></a><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre;"> </span></b><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre;">

KUSIKIY lives in The Andes Mountains of Peru in a small island in Lake Titikaka. In the peaceful community of Taquile, Kusikiy's father cultivates potatoes and Quinoa; his mother, like her mother and grandmother, weaves traditional designs into her textiles recording the important events. Children easily identify with Kusikiy's love for family and his concerns for the effects of climate changes on Mother Earth, as well as with his desire to be of help to his town.

In the courtyard of the mansion things happen meaninglessly and from that forest no man has ever returned. Asher will discover a place called Ledrema, where flowers sing, trees walk, a clock goes back and evil beings and darkness abounds. In Ledrema, it appears there is no goodness - in fact there is, but it is only a pinch!

More than a month's worth of Saturdays were dedicated to these prep classes and they made a huge difference in my daughter's scores. I say that in the plural because she took the classes before both the PSAT and the SAT tests. </div><div><br /></div><div>Taking these prep classes helped her increase her score by more than 100 points. Which was critical for the PSAT because her score on the PSAT helped her land a National Merit Recognition... which eventually led to a full ride at her current college.</div><div><br /></div><div>Her SAT scores played an important role, too. They were an important factor when it came to acceptance into the colleges of her choice. We soon discovered how to find the SAT score ranges for different colleges and universities. The easiest way is to simply Google "what are the SAT score ranges for [Name of College or University]".</div><div><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: left;">Is the SAT Mandatory?</h3><div><br /></div><div>Thanks to the pandemic, a lot of colleges are test optional now. This means students don't have to submit SAT or ACT scores with their applications. Some are even considering making this permanent. Either way, if your SAT scores are above the average score (especially for that university's score range) it is really to your benefit to submit those scores.</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8Cwfn3chQSx22PRTBEBfJDFtWfUFvpVwNFg9mXfNEGbLZtV5p2YK6eEocOoFxMGtqWOeTxAMgwsiIEy8MoYcX_eLi7KW3GWyMvUJQrYrfNdxoIBcTnw1nT1bD40u5Vksdsj5UvlcQUFB_JCB3-fzc2Q6It2Un6BETBqeSIVQY0DEU50O-MqZHZkeHIw/s650/SAT-Prep-2.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Live SAT Prep for Homeschoolers from Mr. D Math" border="0" data-original-height="488" data-original-width="650" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8Cwfn3chQSx22PRTBEBfJDFtWfUFvpVwNFg9mXfNEGbLZtV5p2YK6eEocOoFxMGtqWOeTxAMgwsiIEy8MoYcX_eLi7KW3GWyMvUJQrYrfNdxoIBcTnw1nT1bD40u5Vksdsj5UvlcQUFB_JCB3-fzc2Q6It2Un6BETBqeSIVQY0DEU50O-MqZHZkeHIw/s16000/SAT-Prep-2.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: left;">Live SAT Prep for Homeschoolers</h3><div><br /></div><div>SO. Now I have a homeschooled junior entering the college application process. I learned a whole lot from my daughter's private school experience and have been researching the whole "homeschooler to college" process. </div><div><br /></div><div>All of it has led me to understand that:</div><div><ol style="text-align: left;"><li>Taking the SAT can be extremely beneficial for college acceptance.</li><li>Taking SAT prep classes could potentially raise your child's score by 70 points or more, making them worth the investment.</li></ol></div><div>BUT SAT prep can be expensive. My son is doing two programs. One was crazy expensive, self-paced, and he hasn't stuck with it very well at all. </div><div><br /></div><div>The other is more affordable and comes from Mr. D Math. This live <a href="https://mrdmath.edu20.org/visitor_class_catalog/category/324523?affiliate=8505662" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Math SAT Bootcamp</a> meets virtually every week. And it has covered different strategies and used both practice tests and activities to help prepare him for the test.</div><div><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: left;">How It Works</h3><div><br /></div><div>Once registered, my son gained access to the Mr. D Math learning portal. There he can find any of the optional (but strongly recommended!) homework downloads. But Mr. H also sent out a file via email with all the problems that they work through over the course of 6 weeks. Then each week about an hour before the class, my son received an email with the zoom link to make access the class easy no matter where we were.</div><div><br /></div><div>My son logged in each Tuesday before his Civil Air Patrol meeting (this is why he is in uniform in these pics). He preferred to watch the videos on his phone, but you can also use your tablet, laptop, or desktop. We recommend that you have a couple of pencils and your graphing calculator ready, in addition to the printed test materials you need for each class.</div><div><br /></div><div>Overall, it has been a positive experience and we're confident that the proof will be in the pudding when the SAT test comes around in May.</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdi3mGWVHkr4F74c35dU8tDjysnJvB8yK4rN5flvO8JZv2e0jAAxXoAibexv5SB28DV7l5coyKo-7WJoo_Cu_kSACfG0j3UcSBws6F6gAWHbXi-_mReftiXZLpc8P8tHApwJ9ejUPsh5YeEwa_E-47JgWWbdLz5mW16ETrhga-PhuATs8AtwWjsS5aaA/s650/SAT-Prep-3.png" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Register for the Math SAT Bootcamp from Mr. D Math" border="0" data-original-height="488" data-original-width="650" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdi3mGWVHkr4F74c35dU8tDjysnJvB8yK4rN5flvO8JZv2e0jAAxXoAibexv5SB28DV7l5coyKo-7WJoo_Cu_kSACfG0j3UcSBws6F6gAWHbXi-_mReftiXZLpc8P8tHApwJ9ejUPsh5YeEwa_E-47JgWWbdLz5mW16ETrhga-PhuATs8AtwWjsS5aaA/s16000/SAT-Prep-3.png" /></a></div><br /><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: left;">Register for the Math SAT Bootcamp</h3><div><br /></div><div>If you think this would be a great fit for your family, then <a href="https://mrdmath.edu20.org/visitor_class_catalog/category/324523?affiliate=8505662" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">register today</a>!

But did you know that the Puerto Rican was also a great humanitarian? In fact, he was posthumously awarded a Congressional Gold Medal of Honor in 1973 for his philanthropic work.

Below are several videos for drawing the famous civil rights activist. And I tried to include ones for different ages and skill levels.</p><p><i>This post contains affiliate links.<br /><br /></i></p><h3>Gather Your Art Supplies</h3><p><br />Before you get started, first decide on the video tutorial you'll be using.
