A Lakewood Elementary School teacher featured in a Dallas ISD article for Hispanic Heritage Month.
Gloria Prieto-Puentes is a bilingual second grade teacher at the school. She grew up in Barcelona, Spain and spoke Castilian Spanish and Catalan with her family.
“The fact that we spoke two languages at home, with such different cultures even within Spain, has drawn my spell on our family visits to the regions of Castile and Catalonia,” she told DISD The Hub. “We read books in both languages, ate different types of food, learned different aspects of the culture.”
The students in her class have Brazilian, Chinese, Ecuadorian and Salvadoran roots, to name a few. Prieto-Puentes said she understands how students with a different culture and language feel when they first come to Dallas.
DISD shares stories from its community members to celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month, which runs from September 15 through October. fifteen.
“We all speak Spanish, but the culture of the countries where Spanish is spoken is so diverse that we invite non-Hispanics to visit, read, taste and take a look at what we have to offer: Literature, history, food, celebrations … you will have so much fun, ”said Prieto-Puentes.
