Cinco de Mayo (Spanish for "fifth of May") is a holiday that commemorates the Mexican army's unlikely victory over French forces at the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862.

Spanish teachers presented the history of Cinco De Mayo to their students prior to May 5.  They then celebrated by performing some traditional activities of the Mexicans.  They played “Pin the Tail on the Donkey” and made paper flowers.  Students also supplied Mexican food for the festivity.

After the fiesta, the students all agreed that the next project should have been  . . . a siesta!
