Well here we go! We have our passports ready and it's time for the 1st grade to begin our trip around the world. I am so excited to begin our trip in Mexico! Over the next two weeks we will learn many facts and have a lot of fun too! This week and next week are important in Mexico because they begin to celebrate the Fiestas Patrias, the Patriotic Holidays! In my family this is a very exciting time as we celebrate the Mexico's Independence.
Here are some great websites to visit if you would like to learn more!
