What educators are saying
I left these readings for my students to complete with a substitute. They enjoyed the readings and it led to some great conversations the following day when I returned.
I like leaving cultural lessons like this for my Spanish students when they have a sub. This was the perfect assignment for when I was absent in October. I do not have many Hispanic students, and cultural lessons about things like Day of the Dead often grab their attention.
