MEXICOIn November, we had the awesome chance to have Mrs. Cabrera come visit our 3rd grade classes to share a little bit about where she is from, Mexico. Gabriela Cabrera, her daughter, is in Ms. Thomas's class and she was so excited to have her mom come tell us about her country. We also appreciated having her daughter as well as Mrs. Ramirez, our ESL teacher, come help translate for Mrs. Cabrera. Nolan Banks wanted to share a little bit about what he learned. He says, "We practically visited Mexico! And we learned that they make yummy food like: tamales, churros, and tacos. They speak Spanish there and they have beautiful beaches. We also learned that "The Great Pyramid of Cholula", also known as "Tlachihualtepetl" is the largest pyramid in the world! That would be so cool to see! They celebrate Christmas with piñatas and fireworks and they eat tamales instead of turkey for their dinner. That is what we learned about Mexico." We enjoy having parents and grandparents come share with our 3rd grade students their knowledge and expertise about a country they are from or have visited!
