❤️Looking for a hands-on, creative way to celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month or Day of the Dead in your classroom? Your students will love learning about alebrijes and how they were used in Latin American cultures, while making beautiful writing craft projects and completing fun extension activities!

.................................................................................................................................................

✏️Use the cultural guide to teach about alebrijes and Mexican folk art.

✏️Students can choose from an endless combination of creature body parts to create their personalized alebrije!

✏️Craft pieces come in 3 different sizes (small, medium, large) and can be used in combination with a variety of writing projects (included).

✏️Use the alebrije crafts as a toppers, glue onto writing sheets (included), or glue onto pieces of construction paper.

✏️Writing projects are differentiated! Students can choose from a variety of writing topics, and writing sheet options (dotted vs. single lines etc.)

✏️A great way for students to practice informative or narrative writing.

✏️Students can:

• option 1: cut out and assemble
• option 2: cut out, color, and assemble
• option 3: cut out, color, assemble, and add traditional patterns/designs
• option 4: complete craft and add a writing project
• option 5: complete craft and add extension worksheets
• option 6: complete craft, add a writing project, and add extension worksheets

✏️Dive deeper with reading comprehension, true or false, vocabulary, and sentence-fixing extension worksheets!

✏️Use the arts and craft writing projects to meaningfully decorate your bulletin board, Spanish classroom, or hallway, while displaying your students' creativity!
