For the history, the WHY, and more reading material, check out a post from last year on this festive Holiday most Americans (Mexican or not) tend to recognize. Click here:
Cinco de Mayo.
I see the term on invitations to parties, graduation invites, and sales all around. So, this year because of the business, we celebrated simple in my house.
We learned about the Mexican flag.
Then we compared it to the American flag. We talked about why there are flags, what we do when we say the Pledge, and the colors. Because my child is four, we took the time to make patterns like the Mexican flag with beads. And then of course, we read a new book I found at a Scholastic fair.
Maybe next year I will "spice" it up a bit.
Enjoy!
