Learning happens beyond the walls of a single classroom! 🌮💚

Today, our Mexican American Studies and Culinary Arts classes teamed up for some hands-on cross-curricular learning by making homemade tortillas!

Students connected culture, history, and culinary skills while learning from one another—and enjoying the delicious results! What a great example of learning coming to life. 👏
