The History of Cinco De Mayo

Teachers,
We truly hope you find this download useful for bringing the history of Cinco de Mayo into your classroom at a level your K-3 students can truly grasp and connect with! We hope your students walk away with a newfound respect and understanding of this often stereotyped filled day.

After this unit, your students will be able to know what Cinco de Mayo is, what Cinco de Mayo is NOT, understand why stereotypes can be hurtful, why this day is significant to some Mexican people, and be able to explain how teach others to respectfully honor this holiday.

Your download includes a very informative, full color, and engaging eBook in addition to several read and respond passages, discussion cards, vocabulary cards, and an organizer for the vocabulary words.
