This a great packet and worth the money! It's definitely for beginning Spanish, but it's also a great packet for a day I have to be gone. The only flaw I saw is that the calendar starts on a Sunday and in the Hispanic world, the calendars start on Monday.

Help
Hi,
I'm interested in purchasing your unit. Do you include a formal lesson plan for the unit?
Thanks,
Elsa

Dear Elsa, The Cinco de Mayo unit is 32 pages that include background info on the holiday as well as many language arts and math activities. I think you would find it helpful. Thanks for your question. Best wishes, Mary Hopkins

For more than 35 years I have taught primary grades in a K-8 elementary district in the greater Los Angeles area. I have been teaching third grade since 1991. I also serve as pianist for our school's Glee Club. I have developed a very teacher-friendly series of 32- page reproducible instructional units which include one booklet for each school month (Sept.--June), 3 multicultural units--(Martin Luther King's Birthday, Cinco de Mayo, and Chinese New Year). My USA geography 32 -page units cover all major regions of the United States. These units have been in use since 1983, and have been very popular with both students and teachers. They have withstood the "test of time" and are not trendy and easily outdated.
