Last Tuesday, we brought some good vibes to the classroom with a Mardi Gras project: handprint masks.
We began by talking about the giant Mardi Gras party down in New Orleans, where people wear crazy colorful costumes, eat amazing food, and play music.
Then it was time to make our masks. We traced our hands on paper and then cut out the handprints to glue together. It was a challenge cutting to neatly cut around where we traced our fingers. One child named Deydey wanted to give up, but changed his mind after a little pep talk.
After we assembled our handprint masks, we got to mount them onto colorful popsicle sticks!
We had a great time learning about Mardi Gras and making our masks.
