Today, our little friends read and learned all about La Historia Latina and celebrated the rich cultures and traditions that make Latin America so special! We even read a book by a wonderful Latino author Edison Jaquez Mental Health Therapist giving our little friends the opportunity to see and celebrate Latino voices and stories. πβ¨
πΆ We made music with instruments from different Latin American cultures, including la gΓΌira, la tambora, las maracas, la pandereta, las congas, and las castaΓ±uelas! π₯πΊ
And, of course, we had a special snack: A Taste of Latin America! ππ
π₯ Guacamole with plantain chips
π Papaya
π΅π· Quesitos from Puerto Rico
π¨π΄ BuΓ±uelos and pandebono from Colombia
π©π΄ Chinola juice from the Dominican Republic
What a delicious and fun way to celebrate our beautiful Latino cultures! Β‘Que viva la cultura! π
