6th Grade Spanish Students Discover CARNAVAL!

This week, 6th grade Spanish students explored the Spanish-speaking countries through music, dance, and the festive fun holiday: CARNAVAL! They made connections to what they know about Mardi Gras to tie it to the tradition and party that happens before Lent all around Latin America and other parts of the world. They learned about water balloons and water play in Venezuela and also made a train and conga line together while listening to music. They also created their own masks with feathers, sequins, and markers, adding their own personal touches.  ~ Victoria Bryant
