May 5 - ¡Celebrating Cinco de mayo!


Lower School Spanish classes from Kindergarten to 5th grade spent the end of April and the first week of May learning about Mexico and the holiday Cinco de mayo in preparation for our celebration of the holiday on Thursday, May 5!

Each class honored the holiday with a little history lesson, some mariachi music, a sampling of chips and salsa and lots of fun Mexican art projects!

*  Kindergarteners in KG made bright maracas out of water bottles filled with popcorn and lots of paper mache and paint!



*  First graders in 1K made colorfully painted paper sombreros.



* Second graders in 2D made complementary painted ponchos.



* Third grade Spanish students made beautiful Ojos de Dios (God’s Eyes). 



*  Fourth grade Spanish students wrapped up a study of Comida (Food) by making and eating tacos with soft tortillas.



*  Fifth grade Spanish students made cute mini piñatas filled with candy.
