2nd and 3rd Grade: December 7, 2016

In Spanish class today, we continued talking about piñatas, but specifically talked about the tradition of having Christmas piñatas in Mexico.  We also began writing a class book describing a Christmas piñata.

Ask your student:

• How do people in Mexico decide how many times you get to hit a piñata? (They have a song they sing!  When the song is over, so is your turn!  Click HERE to listen to the song.)
