We began our session looking at an unusual science article showing images of a two-headed snake. Teddy was very interested in this rare reptilian phenomenon, and we read and learned a little about it. Next, we learned about the celebration of Cinco de Mayo. Teddy shared his knowledge about this holiday and learned more information to add to his existing knowledge base. We learned that it commemorates Mexico’s victory over the French during a battle that occurred 163 years ago. We looked at pictures and read that we celebrate here in the United States with parades, festivals, Mariachi bands, Mexican folk music, dancing, Mexican and Mexican American cuisine, and festive costumes. We watched a mariachi band play songs and learned the vocabulary words 'commemorate' and 'cuisine,' amongst others that came up in our research.
