In this activity, each student made a colorful paper flower and a greeting card that they can give to any special person in their life.

Cinco de Mayo is a holiday that celebrates the date of the Mexican army’s May 5, 1862 victory over France at the Battle of Puebla during the Franco-Mexican War. The day is also known as the Battle of Puebla. While it is a relatively minor holiday in Mexico, in the United States, Cinco de Mayo has evolved into a commemoration of Mexican culture and heritage, particularly in areas with large Mexican-American populations.
The kids learned about the importance of Cinco de Mayo and celebrated it by making some crafts and reading about the history behind it.
