I used part of this resource as a reading activity for my students' final! Its such an interesting part of the culture that's fun to read about, and it included some key terms that we had been working on, so it was a great fit! I can't wait to share this resource with other classes outside of using it as a final to be able to use the resource to its full potential!

My students loved learning about Ratoncito Perez. They had never thought about similar but different traditions in other countries before and it led to some fantastic discussions and cultural comparisons!

I printed this story and keep it in a binder in a page protector along with other comprehensible stories for students to access during Free Reading time. Students have expressed appreciation of additional reading materials to supplement my classroom library of Spanish readers. EMETM articles have also been a big hit in our library! Thanks for another great resource Martina!
