Our swim to Mexico... haha

hola de México

That says "Hello from Mexico" in Spanish!
Everyone in the class told me words that they knew in Spanish. A few told me number words, some told me color words and then multiple kids said "Hola!" Here is the link to Google Translator so your child can learn more words. :)

A few of the facts we discussed about Mexico:
Capital: Mexico City
Continent:North America
Celebration: Las Pasadas. A nine night celebration that celebrates the journey of Joseph and Mary when they were looking for shelter.
Yummy Foods: Tortillas, jalapenos, avocados, tomatoes, tacos, enchiladas
Time: 1 hours behind us
Landforms: Volcanoes, peninsulas, mountains, and beaches           
Clothing: They wear sombreros, jeans, pants, cotton shirts. Women will wear clothing with lots of embroidery.
Here is a link to the slideshow. :) 

Since we are so close to Mexico and everyone remembered to pack a swimsuit in their suitcase... we skipped flying and "swam" on over.  We watched our Power Point and the class LOVED hearing about Mt.Popocatepetl! Then we watched a video of a Miriachi band and made a red poinsettia. While lining up for lunch, we watched Head Shoulders Knees and Toes in Spanish. The class loved it!! :) 

Enjoy watching the videos with your child!

 

We wanted to say thank you to Mrs. Simms for helping to make our travels to Mexico great!





Tomorrow we head to Italy!
