Materials and Lesson Ideas for Project Recuerdo
With Project Recuerdo, the stories themselves become new content for teachers to work with, and family members become the main characters and the main topic. Not all families are able to be physically present in the classroom during the school day, but with Project Recuerdo, all families are able to be there in spirit.
