Hispanic Heritage Month
1-15-01I teach the older 3s two days a week and we did several things this past year for National Hispanic Month. 1) We learned to count to 10 in Spanish. 2) We made ANIMALITOS (small animals). These animals are usually dog, bear, or goat forms and are made out of colorful, striped material. For ease, I cut 2 dog shapes out of wrapping paper, sticking with the colorful stripes, and the children glued all the seams except the back. They stuffed these with cotton batting and then I finished gluing the opening. These turned out VERY cute and the children loved them! 3)We had a Mexican fiesta one day complete with soft tacos, tortilla chips w/ cheese dip, sopapillas, and festive music playing in the background.
11-5-00For Hispanic Heritage Month I placed flags of all the Hispanic countries in my room and let the parents bring in arts, crafts, music and clothing from their country. The children used construction paper to create the flags of their country.
9-30-00Piñata Making Use any size cardboard box. At the top poke two holes and insert the string you will use to hang your piñata from. Cut tissue paper into fringe sheets. Glue the sheets of tissue paper around the box into any design you like. Decorate also by adding tissue paper rolls for legs. Finally when done decorating fill the box with candy and glue or tape shut. |
