Every Tuesday my friend and I present a preschool lesson for our younger kids. This is usually literature based however, this week's lesson came from a holiday celebrated in parts of Mexico. Cinco de Mayo. We had a muy bien fiesta!! We learned about some of the foods that are eaten in Mexico, some of their customs and history.
Enjoying some yummy freiole's de negro, queso, tortilla's, and a really yummy guacamole.....Mmmmm Nacho's! For dessert we had Tres Leches Cake.
A fiesta is not complete with out a pinata. Jared was the artist who created this one. A Sunny de Sol.
Liam's not one to be left out. The pinata may as well be 93,000,000 miles away, but he had fun trying to hit it anyway.
The hanger of the pinata didn't support a complete round of "hitters", Jen's a brave one to hold it so the older kids could have their chance. Connor was a great sport, he didn't get a chance, but they all had fun gathering the goodies from the broken remains.
After the pinata fun the kids make maraca's out of tissue paper, toilet paper rolls, beans and rice.
The girls showing off their maracas and goodies. What a fun way to learn some history of a neighboring country!

I wish I had that much fun in elementary school!!!! The kids will always remember what Cinco de Mayo is! ... or at least remember how great Mexican food is... :)
