3rd and 4th Grade: March 4, 2015

Today in class, we finished talking about cascarones by reading Carmen Lomas Garza's own description of her painting.

Ask your student:

• Do you remember what Carmen Lomas Garza said about making cascarones in her family?  What would her brothers always do? (They would make cascarones together.  On Easter, after church, they would go swimming, and after swimming they would eat lunch.  After they ate, they would take out the cascarones.  Sometimes her brothers would put flour in the cascarones.  Then it would turn into a messy paste in everyone's wet hair.) 

This week's vocabulary:

• traviesos - sneaky, mischievous 
• nuestros hermanos - our siblings
• cabezas - heads
• harina - flour

Homework:

• Sing along with our song:  Siempre que me muevo
