Saturday was May 5th, or as they call it in Mexico, Cinco de Mayo. We've been studying Mexico in Social Studies, so today we had our own Cinco de Mayo celebration. We talked about how Cinco de Mayo commemorates a famous battle from when Mexico was trying to become its own country. After that, the students got their chance to hit the piñata (no injuries!), and collect the candy that fell out of it. We had a variety of Mexican foods to sample, including tortilla chips with salsa verde (green salsa) or chipotle sauce (my favourite!), pickled cactus, and cinnamon cookies. The students also had time to work on some Cinco de Mayo colouring pages, while we listened to Mexican music. Here are a few shots of our fun celebration...
Collecting candy after the piñata opened up
Being brave and trying cactus!
Some of the Mexican delicacies that we tried
I guess somebody liked the chipotle sauce!
