We had a slammin' fiesta today. Each team of five brought us a Latin American food to sample, decorated their station to the rafters, hosted a craft and prepared a game.
We didn't get through every game, so we have some to play after vacation. We played a Latin American themed game of capture the flag and amazingly ended in a 2-2 tie.
Thanks to all who helped make it a great success. Kids brought in food - special shout out to Avery's Tres Leche (some kinds of wonderful milky puddingy cake and the Purple Penguin's amazing taco bar. We had maraca making, mask making, head band creating and all kinds of wonderful works of art. Some observer described our room as looking like "happiness threw up in here." It kind of did.
The Lil' Beans got the most point with over 1200 points (900 is what was needed to get to Tierra Del Fuego). They got the crowns. The Aztec Warriors were close at their heals with more than 1100 points. Well done everyone. After vacation we finish up with our in class assessment project tracing the history from native American civilizations to European colonies to independence. Students will be encouraged to focus on Mexico.
Over vacation, students should try to finish their Latin America novels. We will work more with these after vacation and finish up on Friday.
