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 "Hello" and "Goodbye". Then I threw out how to say "Happy Birthday" and "Show me the bathroom." (three years of Spanish in High School and that's what I remember... haha) 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 (We left school at 10:35 our time today and it was only 9:35 over there.)
Landforms: Volcanoes, peninsulas, mountains, and beaches
Clothing: They wear sombreros, jeans, pants, cotton shirts. Women will wear clothing with lots of embroidery.Our flight was very short! We landed and we were still watching our Power Point, here is the link. When we were getting off the plane, we walked over to the Primaria Escuela (Primary School) and since I had a few pesos... we hired a Miriachi band to perform for us. :) The class sat and watched in awe! Watch the video and enjoy!
After the performance we made our souvenir from Mexico and ate tortilla chips. They were a huge hit!! The class ate two large bags of them. haha The slide show has pictures of the students wearing a sombrero. :)
