Marina has been studying Mexico at school for a while. She's been coming home with Spanish words she's learned. The entire second grade put together a Mexican Market today. Two days ago, we made Mexican Wedding Cake cookies. My mother used to make them. I'm not sure if they are really Mexican, but we made them anyway. Marina helped me put the sugar on.
So, today I went to the school to see the market. Marina had already set up her stand with the cookies and signs she made. She was wearing a poncho she made out of a paper bag.
She couldn't wait to go shopping, but she had to sell first. It was cute to see the kids use their pesos to buy each others items. When it was her turn to shop, she bought paper flowers, flags and cookies. I suspect she was buying from her friends. Still, it was a fun exercise for the kids.
