Description

Time to "celebrate!" -- This Cinco de Mayo program is a great way to teach students about a different culture and a story of determination. Students will learn the connections between Cinco de Mayo and their lives as they learn the history of the holiday. Students will embark on a journey of discovery as they learn about European exploration and Mexico’s journey to independence. Colorful images and maps will assist students as they learn the geographic locations and context of this historic event. We’ll also explore the history of Texas and the 6 flags that conquered it. We’ll compare the different foods, beliefs, languages, and traditions of groups, like Native Americans, Mexicans, and Texans. Students will learn about different leaders, conflicts, economical problems, and viewpoints that lead to the Battle of Puebla. We’ll take a culinary detour and learn about the abundance of fruits, spices, and vegetables that surround the Mexican culture. Students will join the Chef in a culinary adventure that highlights some of the ingredients and dishes that are popular on this holiday.
