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:
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!)
Homework:
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!)
