To learn something about about Mexican culture, St. James students made piñatas. Last Friday, November 19, students presented their piñatas to their classmates. Each one of the students worked hard on making their piñata. As students were making their piñatas, they also learned a new vocabulary in Spanish. Students were able to mention the names of the materials they used in Spanish during their presentation. After the students were done with their presentation, they enjoyed some Mexican food.
The following are some of the piñatas that the students made.
A watermelon (una sandía)
A pumpkin (una calabaza)
A banana (un plátano)
An apple (una manzana)
