This Cafecito started the new school year off. We wanted to focus on linguistic and aspirational capital for this school year so we thought focusing on the different ways to say hello would be a perfect way to begin. For this activity, we showed the students and families various images. Some of those images were of people physically saying hello greetings (like hugging, sharing high-fives, fist-bumping, etc.) and other images were saying hello greetings in different languages. After the images were shared, the students and families then demonstrated how they said hello in their families and we took photos of them with a Polariod camera. Then, they drew that same image on paper tracing their hands and then decorating the image. We then used the Polariod and drawings to decorate a bulletin board at school.
