National Flags and Cultural Identity

Ms. Christina Salamone’s and Ms. Tracy Jaeger’s Spanish 3 classes enjoyed a recent visit to the Lower School for some exploration and inspiration for their Hispanic Heritage Month project. After delving into questions about identity terms such as Hispanic, Latino, Latinx, and Latine, students viewed the flags of all 21 Spanish-speaking countries and perused the many materials and visuals posted in the LS hallway. Each student selected a particular flag and country of interest to research. The final product was a series of oral presentations and conversations about the diverse cultural identities and culture depicted on many of the Hispanic flags studied. Thank you to our LS colleagues for sharing your space and display with us.
