My friend recently shared this picture with me:
Their school celebrated teacher appreciation week the same week as Cinco de Mayo. I love how the parent who helped coordinate this poster combined the Cinco de Mayo and teacher appreciation themes! And what kid can resist taking a picture with a fake mustache!? đŸ™‚
Send me photos of fun teacher appreciation ideas! Email them to squarehead teachers at gmail dot com.
Let me first just state this before showing you the crafts I found that I like: Cinco de Mayo is NOT the Mexican Independence Day. The Mexican Independence day is September 16. Click here to view my worksheet about the history of Cinco de Mayo.
Ok, here are some fun crafts for Cinco de Mayo:
Craft this quick pinata sun-catcher!
Fold an origami Cinco de Mayo doll!
No, Cinco de Mayo isn’t Mexico’s independence day. That’s on September 16. Here’s a free worksheet to help kids learn about Cinco de Mayo. Comprehension questions at the bottom.
