(We took a picture of her by it, but my camera was being difficult and none of the pictures really turned out.) We are going to document it through written stories, coloring photos, and taking pictures.

MUSIC/ART

I bought precut puzzles and the kids loved painting thier own scenes on them. They were originally going to make something that had to do with Mexico, but decided just to let them paint whatever they wanted. Niece had fun painting along side them!

DD- Read aloud Big Big Bus
Family read aloud- Cameron Townsend- Chapters 13-16

COOKING
We wanted to do more with this, but as it was a difficult week the dish that we chose from Mexico was salsa. We had hoped to have a fiesta and to have decorated with homeade pinaitas and such but it just didn't happen this week. We made salsa and talked a little about the crops that are grown in Mexico.
