100 Hispanics in World History

Is the 100th day of school coming up for your classes? Do you celebrate it in your classroom? I know that there are tons of activities for younger grades, but not too many for older students.

That's why I've created this new packet for middle schoolers. My 100 Hispanics in World History Research Packet is a 79-page unit that allows students to choose from a list of 100 Hispanics in world history to research and share. The list is available in two formats:

• The historical figures are arranged by century starting with the 1400s to the present
• The historical figures are arranged by field of influence, including musicians, artists, activists, scientists, athletes, writers, journalists, actors, leaders & politicians, and other notable figures.

Pages for note-taking, research, and one-page presentations are included, as are additional pages for comparing/contrasting historical figures, word association, and listing new vocabulary.

In addition, date cards and information labels are included for creating a timeline display on a wall.

Instructions are included. And as always, this entire packet is available in both English and Spanish. Simply select the version that best suits your needs.

You can find your copy in my TpT store and here in my MommyMaestra shop.

TpT's February Sale Ends Tonight

Did you hear? A sale is going on!

The TpT sitewide sale is happening now and my entire shop is discounted. This is a great time to stock up on no-prep printables for Valentine's Day, Black History Month, 100 Days of School, or even Cinco de Mayo!

Valentine's Day is a little over a week away. I have added a new product to my Valentine's line. The Book of Words is a simple way to introduce vocabulary related to the holiday to young children. Simply print the booklet version you need (available in English-only, Spanish-only, and bilingual), then put the pages together and let your kids color the picture, read the word, then write it in the space provided.

Do you celebrate 100 Days of School? Now older students can participate, too, with this new research packet for studying 100 Hispanics in World History. Designed for middle schoolers, this 79-page unit allows students to choose from a list of 100 Hispanics in world history to research and share. The list is available in two formats:

1. The historical figures are arranged by century starting with the 1400s to the present
2. The historical figures are arranged by field of influence, including musicians, artists, activists, scientists, athletes, writers, journalists, actors, leaders & politicians, and other notable figures.

And finally, don't forget that February is Black History Month. This set of one-page reading passages on Afro-Latinos in History is one of my most popular this month. It comes with one-page reading passages about the following seven famous Afro-Latinos:

• Celia Cruz
• Sammy Davis, Jr.
• Soledad O'Brien
• Roberto Clemente
• Martina Arroyo
• Pelé
• Arnaldo Tamayo Méndez

Reading comprehension questions for each reading passage are included. I've also added reading comprehension worksheets that focus on vocabulary from the passages, a matching activity, true or false, describing words, and a Venn diagram for comparing characters. An answer key is included. The reading passages are available in full color or black and white.

But the sale ends tonight! So don't miss it...

Free 100th Day of School Printables in Spanish

June's freebie from our sponsor, Lectura para niños is a pair of read-aloud worksheets that celebrate the 100th Day of School! Teachers, be sure to download this and save it for next year. Page one lists 100 easy syllables in Spanish, and 100 difficult syllables in Spanish for kids to master. Page two lists 100 words in Spanish for your students to read aloud.

Leah says:

This is what I have my students practice reading on the 100th day of school! They get so excited when they see 100 syllables, then 100 difficult syllables, then 100 words! Most of the kiddos are able to read most of the syllables and words. If the kids struggle on a word, I tell… go find a friend who can help you out to read them. Once they have read them, they get to check off that they have read and go on to another 100 day activity! We rotate centers on this day doing many different things to celebrate 100 days of learning. The kids LOVE becoming the teacher and teaching their fellow classmates how to read certain words. They also practice reading the words and their partners segment the words into sounds! Oh the possibilities!

Celebrate the 100th Day of School with Me on Twitter

I'm super excited that tomorrow we'll be celebrating our 100th day of school. You may remember me mentioning it a few days ago and that's because I've been looking for ideas of activities or crafts to do to celebrate with the kids. Since it is Valentine's Day, I'm planning some fun group activities because we'll be celebrating with our fellow homeschool families at our annual Valentine's Day party.

I'm loving this idea of using 100 toothpicks and 100 marshmallows to build a structure. The trick would be building it before all the marshmallows were eaten! And this activity uses 100 plastic cups instead.

I know that many of you will be celebrating the 100th day of school, too, if you haven't already. So I invite you to join me tonight for a Twitter Party with PBS KIDS and @la_story. We'll be sharing tips and activities for you to consider. Just join us from 9 - 10 pm ET and use the hashtag #100thDay.

See you then!
