Each day we will focus on a different country as we learn a little history, create an art project, and cook a tasty treat native to that country. We will listen to stories, create paintings, learn songs, and use our hands to cook up a few culinary delights. Grab your passport and come along with us on a journey around the globe.

FIesta fun
June 15–19 or June 22-26
For boys and girls entering JK – 2
Let’s get ready for a fiesta and learn about arts and crafts from the Mexican culture. How do kids in Mexico celebrate? We will practice our Spanish while we make papel picado, cascarones, maracas, and piñatas. We will even paint a mural, all in preparation for a fiesta. We will listen to mariachi music while we prepare for the fiesta and sing some traditional songs like “La Cucaracha” and “Cielito Lindo”. Our week will end with a Mexican meal (from El Mezcal) and of course, we will break a piñata. Make sure to send an old shirt or art smock because we will be getting messy!
