The children in grade 5B had an exciting opportunity this week to learn about Mexico from someone in Mexico! Aunty Amy, a Hilo educator, skyped with us to tell us all about the wonderful things she is learning on her trip to Mexico.
We learned that Mexico’s official language is Spanish. But, there are 31 states in Mexico and in each area the people are trying very hard to keep their native languages, culture, and traditions alive. Aunty Amy showed us some Mexican money and told us about the yummy, and interesting, Mexican food she is trying. For one meal she even ate grasshoppers! We also were able to look at some beautiful Mexican art and Aunty Amy told us about the different natural resources Mexican weavers use to die their cloth.
It was an awesome experience and we can’t thank you enough for sharing with us Aunty Amy!
Here is a short glimpse into our skype session.
