Wreaths Across America Expands TEACH Resources
Wreaths Across America (WAA) is thrilled to present a new initiative aimed at broadening access to educational materials. Many of its TEACH Programs' FREE lesson plans are now accessible in Spanish, a move that reflects the organization's commitment to inclusivity in education.
Celebrating Cultural Heritage
This exciting launch coincides with National Hispanic Heritage Month, a period dedicated to recognizing the diverse cultures and contributions of Hispanic and Latinx communities throughout the United States. This celebration begins on September 15, marking the independence day for several Central American nations, and continues through October 15.
Educational Opportunities for All
The WAA TEACH program serves as a vital educational resource for kindergarten through 12th-grade students, promoting character development, community service, and an appreciation for freedom. Providing these lesson plans in Spanish ensures that a wider array of students can engage in meaningful educational experiences. Current statistics reveal that Hispanic students constitute a significant percentage of the public-school demographic, underscoring the importance of accessible educational content.
Removing Barriers to Engagement
"By making our lesson plans available in Spanish, we aim to eliminate barriers and ensure all children can connect with inspiring stories of service and patriotism," stated Cindy Tatum, a retired educator and Wreaths Across America TEACH Curriculum Developer. This initiative is designed to enrich the learning experience for all students, irrespective of their first language.
Accessing the New Resources
The newly available lesson plans are free to educators, homeschooling parents, and community group leaders across the country. Interested individuals can easily download these resources online, further promoting a spirit of community engagement and cultural education.
Engaging Communities During Hispanic Heritage Month
WAA encourages teachers and families to celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month with these exciting new resources. Whether it's through interactive activities like discussions on cultural histories or lessons that highlight shared values, these plans are designed to foster a greater understanding of the richness of diversity.
