3rd and 4th Grade: February 25, 2015

Today in class, we continued to look at a painting by Carmen Lomas Garza.  She painted a picture of her family making cascarones...Mexican Easter eggs. We also watched a few short videos about cascarones.  If you're interested in learning a little more, I have some extra links in the homework section.

Ask your student:
  • What are cascarones?  How do you make them? (They are egg shells filled with confetti. You make them by carefully making a small hold/taking a bit of the top of the egg off, pouring out the white and yolk, cleaning the shell, filling it with confetti, and decorating it!) 


This week's vocabulary (it may seem a bit random, but next week, we'll read Carmen Lomas Garza's description of her painting and it will make more sense!)
  • íbamos a nadar - we would go swimming
  • rompíamos - we would break
  • comíamos - we would eat
  • sacábamos - we would take out
  • sorprendíamos - we would surprise
  • después de - after
