On Friday we traveled back to North America to the country of Mexico! We took a look at the ancient Mayan ruins of Tulum and Chichen Itza. We also saw some Voladores who perform a breathtaking ritual representing earth, wind, fire, water, and the sun. We saw a traditional May Pole dance, and finished by talking about cenotes (underground pools of freshwater). Check out these sites!

Reminders:
Tomorrow is our Mini-Feast. Parents are welcome to meet us in the cafeteria at 1:30 for the celebration. If your child has not brought in their piece of fruit for our "Friendship Fruit Salad," please do so in the morning.
Also, don't forget that book orders for Christmas are due tomorrow as well. You can either order online or send in the order form and money with your child in the morning.
Enjoy the rest of your day!
