Today was an art day with my fifth grade students in the library. I forgot to take a photo, but we have five long strands of papel picado banners hanging in the library. On Friday, there will be even more after the sixth graders do it too. We're getting ready for the El día de los niños/El día de los libros celebration on Saturday. Here's a video from when I worked in WI and we celebrated Día eight years ago.
It's really fun for the students to try different ways of folding and cutting to make the banners. We learn from Carmen Lomas Garza in this video tutorial.
I love any excuse to celebrate books and children so I'm always excited for April.
