Circle Time Activities:
Today is Tuesday, May 5. In some parts of Mexico and America, people celebrate Cinco de Mayo. Cinco de Mayo means May the 5th. On May 5, 1862, although greatly outnumbered, Mexican soldiers conquered an army of French and Mexican rebel soldiers at Puebla, Mexico. The Mexican soldiers demonstrated great courage, unity, leadership and patriotism -- a deep love for their families, home and country on that day.
Spanish is the predominant language in Mexico and also widely spoken by Mexican communities living in the United States and elsewhere.
To celebrate Cinco de Mayo, Mexican/American communities hold festivals, parades, and cultural events.
Hablamos espanol!
Let's Speak Spanish!
buenos dias= good morning
adios= goodbye
hola= hi
hasta manana= see you tomorrow
