Students in Mrs. Case's Kindergarten classroom at Sanford Pride Elementary were fortunate to be visited by one of their classmate's families, to teach the students about their Mexican culture and family traditions. They brought family heirlooms, clothing, and instruments. They played authentic music and demonstrated and taught the students dance steps. They also taught the students Spanish words and finished with a Spanish Bingo game. This was such a fun and meaningful way to wrap up their cultural
celebration.

In health class at Sanford Pride Elementary, the students made smoothies with the blender bike. This is a bike lent to us from a community engagement initiative called Let's Go 5-2-1-0 which works with schools and communities to create environments that support healthy behaviors. The use of the blender bike aligns with our nutrition and physical activity unit in health class, which explores food groups, identifying healthy foods and snacks, and the benefits of physical activity.
