2nd and 3rd Grade: November 16, 2016

In Spanish class today, we continued our unit about piñatas by focusing on the verb "es" (he/she/it is).

(If you're looking for a fun activity to practice Spanish, check out this Turkey Pilgrim!)

Ask your student:

• What were traditional piñatas made of?  Why don't they make them like that anymore?  (Traditionally, piñatas were a clay pot.  They don't make them like that anymore because it was too dangerous and people got hurt from the sharp, broken, pot.)
