I absolutely love making resources like this one.
But, let me tell you, it wasn't always like that.
I used to spend hours on end, either digging around for that 'perfect' class resource or trying to tweak mine to get it just right.
Ever been there?
Yeah, it's pretty exhausting trying to figure out what 'perfect' even looks like.
Everything clicked for me when I gained more clarity about how we acquire languages. It was like a lightbulb went off!
Now, I focus on writing stories that are easy to get and actually fun to read. Like this "El Cinco de Mayo" story—it’s packed with easy-to-understand language and full of cool facts. Plus, it clears up that big mix-up: Cinco de Mayo isn’t Mexico's Independence Day!
I really hope it hits the mark in your class like it did in mine. I'm super eager to hear all about it!
Un abrazo,
Claudia
