Cinco De Mayo Misc
Contact_FullName: Andrea Contact_Email: andreacarmel@netscape.net date:: 04/03/02 Idea: I guess this is more of a Language Arts/Circle Time type suggestion, but... There is a wonderful Latina artist named Carmen Lomas Garza. Her work is best described as Chicana narrative. Her primitive style artwork is very simple, graphic, and endearing children . Her subject matters deal with the Latin culture and occasions within the Latin communities. I think this are endearing prints for circle time discussions! She has several children's books printed by the Children's Book press, which are available in paperback AND "big book" size. Here's a link to info on one such book... http://www.cbookpress.org/ob/fp.html
5-5-00We made red, white and green paper chains to celebrate Cinco de Mayo. Then, we took our chains outside and practiced the "grito" to add to the festivities. We compared the U.S. and Mexican flags and discussed "freedoms"...how we have freedoms in the United States and the Mexican farmers were fighting the French for freedom..."Cinco de Mayo".
Date: 3-11-00take a pretend trip to Mexico. make suitcases and have children decorate them. also have them make whatever they would put in a suitcase on small pieces of papers and place them in the suitcase. I found putting their names on the suitcases are nice. In your room place chairs around like you are in a plane and take your trip. 2-23-98 Name: Michelle E-Mail: braden@myriad.net We're combining our Cinco de Mayo theme week with Mother's Day, and giving a Mexican Mother's Day Luncheon for our moms on the Friday before Mother's Day. We're making serapes out of brown grocery bags, painted with bright colors, and placemats out of paper, painted with brightly colored stripes or designs. To make a centerpiece for each mom, have a root beer bottle for each child. Cover with glue and wrap with jute string--either the natural colored, or use thick yarn in several colors. Wrap from bottom to top. Inside the bottle place several brightly colored tissue paper flowers that the kids have made. We make maracas. The kids will do the "Mexican Hat Dance" as entertainment for the moms, and we will serve tacos that the children help make. |
