Caitlin Goodson decided that she could enhance the learning of her students by promoting biliteracy and recognizing the value that families bring to the education of their children. So she designed a project to bring families and students together to share, both orally and in writing, family recipes, the stories and occasions behind them, and the processes of making the food and she called it, “Nuestras Recetas de Familia Writing Project”. The project produced a printed book of recipes and stories that each of the families kept to preserve and pass down these traditions.]]> 2021-05-01 04:21:38 UTC https://padlet.com/bevo7090/ps13kmogdiklhhsd/wish/1480473214 Why it is important: bevo7090 https://padlet.com/bevo7090/ps13kmogdiklhhsd/wish/1480474419 To create more equitable learning environments for students, teachers need to implement into their curriculums ways for students to embrace and utilize their home languages.
