To complement our story of the week, Pepita Talks Twice, we scheduled a fiesta! We learned and danced the Mexican Hat Dance. Click here to go to our Learn Spanish video.

Dear Mrs. Ranney,
ReplyDeleteI thought that the Fiesta was super fun! When we did the conga line,it was really fun! I liked the scrumptious chips! When we did the Mexican Hat dance I thought it was fun. The tacos were very delicious!
What did you like about the fiesta?
From your fiesta loving friends,

Dear Mrs. Ranney,
ReplyDeleteIn case you forgot here are the simple steps of the Mexican Hat Dance.
Step 1, put your right hand on your left shoulder and vice versa.
Step 2, put your right foot in on your heel take your right foot out and put in your left foot. Then take your left foot out,put your right foot in, and clap your hands twice each time you do it.
Congrats you just learned the first part of the Mexican Hat Dance!
Step 3, hook arms with your partner and skip around in a circle eight times.
Step 4, switch arms and do it again.
Sincerely,
Two Good Dancers, Aidan & Noel
Hello Mrs. Ranney, Mrs. Yollis and classes,
ReplyDeleteLa fiesta es muy buena. :)
I have had Mexican Hat Dance fun with some of my classes over the years. It's easy to learn and fun to do and I know I love tacos. Our supermarkets sell products such as those from Old El Paso.
It seems a little bit of Mexico is here in Australia. Here is a link to Australia's Old El Paso site and some of the information they share about Mexico.
