The Kindergarten classes at Blue Ridge Elementary School constructed a piñata shaped as the Grinch to celebrate Los Posadas. As part as our Holidays Around the World unit, the kindergartners learned how children from different parts of the world celebrate the holidays. As pictured, students used liquid starch and newspaper to form the piñata. In addition to history and art, science was integrated into this project as the students predicted what would happen to the balloon after it was covered with several layers of newspaper and glue. On piñata breaking day, Mr. Button, our elementary principal offered his assistance to the kindergartners in breaking the piñata!
