Since we are doing Countries and Cultures this year, we are spending a couple of weeks on each country, learning about the culture, religion, language, geography, current events, food, and interesting facts about it. At the end of the second week, we have a meal featuring foods from that country.
We are in our second week of studying Mexico, and in art class, the kids have been making a pinata and tissue paper flowers to use for decorations for our Fiesta, which will be Sunday afternoon (since our Boy Scouts will be leaving for a weekend camping trip and won't be here for dinner on Friday).
At the Fiesta, we will enjoy chicken enchiladas, quesadillas, and tacos and the kids will share with the family what they have been learning. They have been learning to say John 3:16 in Spanish (as well as numbers, colors, days of the week, etc.).
Yesterday, our curriculum suggested going to the desert for a field trip, but there aren't too many deserts in Western Pennsylvania! Instead, they walked over to Grandma's house and drew pictures of her cacti in their nature notebooks, as we have been learning about desert plants and animals.
Here are some glimpses into our art class...
Until next time, Ciao! and Buenos Dias! :)
