Literacy & Arts

Join us for a magical fairy tale journey retold with Latino culture and traditions! In this K–2 class, students will explore stories such as Adelita: A Mexican Cinderella Story, Little Roja Riding Hood, Rubia and the Three Osos, The Three Cabritos, and Sugar Cane: A Caribbean Rapunzel and many more. Through interactive read-alouds and creative art activities, children will build vocabulary, develop background knowledge, strengthen reading comprehension, and celebrate cultural connections.

During this program your child will have the opportunity to:

• Improve reading comprehension skills by knowledge and vocabulary building while deepening understanding and increasing engagement with each story.
• Expand communication skills through reading, small group discussion, and reflection.
• Develop self-awareness and cultural pride by exploring diverse fairy tales and making personal connections.
• Strengthen empathy, perseverance, and growth mindset by examining the challenges and achievements of each character.
• Create original story scenes that demonstrate understanding of each tale, using visual expression to communicate ideas, themes, and personal interpretations of each story.
