iii CINCO DE MAYO !!!
This week K-5th grade celebrated Cinco de mayo in Spanish class.
We learned about Cinco de mayo's history and how it is NOT Mexico's Independence Day!
This is a common misconception in the USA! Mexico’s Independence Day is on September 16th. Cinco de mayo (May 5th) celebrates the unity, bravery, and pride of the Mexican people after winning the battle of Puebla against the French on May 5th(Cinco de mayo), 1862.
Fourth graders made pinatas in art class (gracias Mrs. Choi) and donated their pinatas to each homeroom class. Each class broke a pinata and ate chips and salsa to celebrate. Check out the pictures below of our fun FIESTA!
