During October, the K5 classes study Mexico and other Hispanic
countries. We study the culture, people, architecture, and
art. We discuss the people in these countries and try to approach
the activities from a missions viewpoint. We talk about how
we can help other people in other countries and reach out
to our neighbors in the world. In future years, I would like
to actually make contact with a missionary and send pictures
and money to show our support. To finish our study, we celebrate
by dressing up as a Hispanic or Mexican boy or girl. We speak
Spanish as much as we can that day and during the month of
October. In my class, I have three students that speak Spanish
at home. Two are from Venezuela and one is from Mexico. We
make a piñata, maracas, and mosaic art. We also eat
authentic Mexican or Hispanic food on our Fiesta day, usually
the last school day of October. –by

Here is what some K5 students had to say about their Fiesta
Day:
“I whacked the Piñata”—Jeremiah
Goodwin
Timothy Blackstad liked the “…food, piñata,
and candy.”
Melanie Graziano commented, “My favorite thing I got
to do was to break the piñata.”
“We all got to hit the piñata, and Chelsea
is my best friend, and she is funny,” says Hailey
Koory.
Sarah Kirk said, “I got to play with the toys Mrs.
Barber gave us.”
When asked what he liked best about the Fiesta, one little
boy, who requested to remain anonymous, stated, “I
like spaghetti.”
