Celebrating Mexican Culture!
Recently Mrs. Ranney's Class read "Pepita Talks Twice!"
Pepita, who can speak both English and Spanish, decides that she doesn't want to "speak twice" anymore. When her decision creates problems she hadn't thought of, Pepita realizes that sometimes it can be a good thing to understand two languages.
The story was even written in both English and Spanish,
so we began learning some Spanish words ourselves.
********
The video below, made by students in both Mrs. Ranney's and Mrs. Yollis' class, demonstrates many Spanish words we learned!
*********
Later in the week, with our friends in Mrs. Yollis' class, we celebrated with the Mexican Hat Dance......
and by having a taco party!

Meet Mr. Gallon, the Captain of Capacity!
Mrs. Ranney's class has been learning about capacity using customary units.
Gallon is a customary unit for capacity.
Our friend, Corey, from Mrs. Yollis' class brought Mr. Gallon to school today.
Mr. Gallon was very helpful with conversions!
Meet Mr. Gallon!
Mr. Gallon says, "There are four blue quarts in a gallon!"
Mr. Gallon says, "There are eight purple pints in a gallon!"
Mr. Gallon says, "There are 16 green cups in a gallon!"
What do you think of Mr. Gallon?
Did he help you learn about capacity?
What have you found at home that uses these customary units?
