For the third achievement party of the year, we held a Mexican Fiesta for the students. I found real Jarritos Mexican pop and authentic Mexican candies at a specialty store, and our amazing K-4 academic supervisor Hilary Martin and principal Dervin Martin did a fantastic job with the menu, including my favorite, authentic caramel flan.
The rest of us were the waiters and waitresses who took the students' orders and then served them their meals.
The pinata was too cute to break, and Jeff wanted it to stay in his classroom anyway, so I just threw the candy on the tables.
Jeff wrote a funny song about the students and they all sang along once they had learned the chorus.
Then we laughed hysterically while we all (students included) performed a few skits. We had told each student to bring a random item, and then we, the teachers, used the items in a skit we threw together.
As usual, the students did a fantastic job helping us clean up, and that topped off a quite enjoyable evening.
And a special thank you to art teacher Susanna Nolt for taking most of these pictures. Ole!
