DIA DE INDEPENDENCIA
Hola
Padres,
In
celebration of Mexico’s Independence Day, we will be having a Fiesta de Independencia
on Tuesday, September 17th during E/I time. We have been studying Mexican
culture, and how they celebrate Independence Day. During our fiesta will taste
traditional Mexican foods, learn a bit more about the history and play
traditional Mexican party games.
I am asking that each child brings a traditional
Mexican dish to share with the class. If he/she can not bring a dish, I would
like for them to write a one paragraph essay describing a typical Mexican dish.
Each class has approximately 26 students. Please no
candy or soda. Some ideas for a healthy Mexican snack include: mango with
chili, chips and salsa, guacamole, bananas with honey or cheese quesadillas.
There are many ideas available on the internet.
If you put your food in a dish that you would like
returned please put your name on it. Also, I have told your child they must
bring their food to me, room 1East, on Tuesday BEFORE they go to their homeroom
in the morning. I will provide silverware, plates and napkins.
These past few weeks, we have been having so much
fun in Spanish class. I appreciate the opportunity to teach your child, and I
look forward to sharing some holiday cheer with them in Spanish! Additionally,
we welcome any parents who wish to help during the party. Please feel free to
contact me with any questions or concerns.
Gracias,
Ms. Houchin
