Things That Go

No matter how you put it, far, far away is a long, long way to run.

Cinco de Mayo

Today and all this week we celebrated Cinco de Mayo (Spanish for "fifth of May"). On Thursday Mexicans will celebrate the 149th anniversary of the Battle of Puebla as Cinco de Mayo, a national holiday in Mexico. It’s really a party that celebrates freedom and liberty.
…Of course, this calls for a piñata fiesta, which we read about – both in Spanish and English – by counting things that go into a piñata – i.e., dos trompetas (two trumpets), tres animalitos (three little animals)…

 
No, we did not dance around a sombrero – instead we took turns counting sombreros – “One. Uno. Two. Dos. Three. Tres… (pictured is Noah)” – all under the watchful camera of a fotógrafo. He was here today to document the activities of our friends for the school’s website (www.frankielemmonschool.org).


Of course, a Cinco de Mayo party would be nothing without great Mexican food. We marched down to the break room where Miss Forbis helped us melt cheese and salsa together – something called queso. Then Miss White helped us carry it back to our room for a delicioso snack of melted queso and tortilla chips. We tried to keep it in our mouth – and not on our clothes. Muy bueno!
