5th and 6th Grade: March 8, 2017

In class today, we learned what the 5 de mayo ISN'T.  We also talked about the problem that started the history of this holiday.

Ask your student:
  • Is 5 de mayo like the 4th of July?  (No, 5 de mayo isn't a celebration of independence.  Mexican independence day is September 16.) 
  • What was the problem that started the 5 de mayo problem?  (Mexico owed money to Spain, France, and England.  Mexico didn't have money to pay them back.  Mexico asked for more time to pay the money back.  Spain and England said it was okay, but France said it was a problem...)
