TERCER GRADO / THIRD GRADE:
The third graders have just finished their unit on the extended family and are learning a great deal about the Mexican Cinco de Mayo celebration; it's origins and how this holiday is celebrated in the United States.
In order to do this I've shown them an iteresting film made for and by children their own age. In the film, they've watched Latino-American children having fun at a Piñata celebration and dancing traditional folk dances.
The third graders will soon be bringing home colorful drawings celebrating the Mayan legend of the discovery of Mexico.
CUARTO GRADO / FOURTH GRADE:
Skit Performances:
The fourth graders are now putting on their fire skits for their friends. I've very much enjoyed the process of observing the students as they came up with ideas, written their lines, selected their props and rehearsed. I can tell they're proud of the results of their hard work, as I see their faces light up on hearing their classmates' loud applause. WAY TO GO FOURTH GRADE!
Cinco de Mayo:
For the Cinco de Mayo celebration the students are/will be revisiting the Mayan Creation Myth, reciting a cute Cinco de Mayo poem, and making colorful drawings of Mayan hyroglyphic figures.
¡VIVA EL CINCO DE MAYO! ¡BRAVO! ¡OLÉ!
