This week we headed to Mexico.  We learned about Cinco de Mayo and Day of the Dead.  Trenton celebrated his own ancestors and visited the cemetery for some tombstone rubbings.  He also built some tombs out of Lego bricks.  We created some papel picado (pierced paper) flags and decorated the house with them.  We read about Mexico's geography and culture from library books.  Other crafts included pipe cleaner iguanas, popsicle stick butterflies, and flag/map coloring.  We watched YouTube videos on the Spanish language, completed a word search, and enjoyed a Mexican meal.  Trenton tried cheese quesadilla, bean enchilada, and a bean burrito.  He also enjoyed aqua de horchata.
