Hillside Grade School students commemorated Hispanic Heritage Month through song and dance during their music lessons with Joanna Malaszczyk.

Third graders were immersed in the Argentinian culture, as they learned the song “Chacarera del Rancho.” The students learned the lyrics and sang together as a class, aided by a video demonstration.

Following the song, the students learned the dance steps to the chacarera, an Argentinian folk dance. Partnered in two lines, they practiced the chacarera to the song they had learned.
