My Project

Hola! Let's celebrate Cinco de Mayo in the classroom! This project will give my students the opportunity to study, research, and celebrate a holiday from a different culture from where they live. My students will become immersed in a traditional Cinco de Mayo celebration with this funded project. I plan to fully celerbate this holiday with snacks, crafts, dress, and decorations.

The best way to learn about a different culture is to experience it!

Thank you so much for always providing for my classroom and the projects that I do in my classroom.

Ms. Kaity
Grades PreK-2
