Happy Cinco de Mayo!
Tomorrow, May 5th, is Cinco de Mayo, a Mexican and Mexican-American holiday! In the Mexican state of Puebla, this day is used to celebrate the Mexican army's unexpected victory against the French at the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862.
In Mexico, this holiday is known as El Día de la Batalla de Puebla, “The Day of the Battle of Puebla.”
Many towns and cities across Mexico, Texas, and other U.S. states have festivals to celebrate Chico de Mayo on May 5 each year. With my 4th grade level R reader Cinco de Mayo - A Mexican Holiday your class will learn the history behind the celebration. It is great to accompany a social studies unit on the states or Mexico! The book comes with companion worksheets which reinforce literacy skills involving reading, language, spelling and writing. Specific concepts, skills and vocabulary targeted in the book are listed on the first page of the story.
