Happy Cinco de Mayo!

In Kindergarten we had a special guest, Mrs. Olga Alanis-Ramirez, read a Cinco de Mayo book in Spanish. Luckily, she also translated it into English! We learned about how the holiday is celebrated in Mexico, including parades, food, parties (fiestas) and fireworks.  We made connections to our Independence Day (4th of July) celebrations in the U.S. 

Mrs. Ramirez sang our wake up song to Chester in Spanish.  She also sang a fun song children sing when they take turns at batting a piñata. At the end of class, the Kindergartners took turns pulling a ribbon on a piñata & got a few pieces of candy for their efforts.
