IF you are a parent reading this, then you should ask your child the significance of this day and how it relates to life. CINCO DE MAYO!!
Classwork: We covered the real life history of Cinco de Mayo and how it related to our Social Studies Unit. We also had a lengthy discussion of how it can teach us lessons of overcoming impossible odds and how one thing can have a huge effect on another seemingly unrelated thing.
We also started the Chapter 16 Unit on Central America. So far, it has very similar beginnings as the Mexico Saga.
Homework: Please discuss the importance of Cinco de Mayo. Discuss any connections to life you may have gained from either this story or the Star Wars story from yesterday.
