Cinco de Mayo-May 3

Dear Families,
On Friday, we celebrated Cinco de Mayo.  We spent much of the morning in stations creating tile art, lacquer ware and birch bark paintings inspired by Mexican artisans.  We discovered that nature and geometry are common motifs among Mexican crafts.  In the afternoon, we sampled Mexican food, desserts and listened to Mariachi music.  We had a great time.  A special GRACIAS to our class parents for their help with the food.
