PLINIO GUTIERREZ-DELGADO
Spanish Teacher, Since 2002
I really like the collaboration between Spanish teachers at Charles Wright.  By working together, we provide opportunities for interaction between different age groups and levels.  Sometimes Upper School Spanish students volunteer in my Lower School classroom and Upper and Lower School Spanish classes get together to share what they are learning. All the students benefit greatly from this type of experience.

One of my favorite projects is preparing with students the altar for El Dia de los Muertos, the Day of the Dead.  We decorate the altar with fruit, food, candy, photos, flowers, sugar skulls, and decorative paper to honor and remember our loved ones who have passed on.
