Mexico
By Jan

I have lots of ideas for Mexico. I developed an entire unit last year for a Master's class. It takes up an entire 3 ring binder. First, have your local high school spanish club-class come over once a week for the two week.s
Ours does research on their names an every one gets a spanish name. The next week we learn the colors, numbers, months etc. Jump start or reader rabbit has a spanish K version which is great for computer center. Our music teacher sings songs from the culture and makes a Tortuga puppet with them after doing the book. My Mexico book is at school but if you want more and lots more email

me directly. Send me your address and I will mail you some pages of great ideas. We end with a Fiesta- we make clothes. The kids love it and really learn about the culture. We do a entire lesson on the flag. It is a very educational activity.
