I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend.
This will be my last week at Warner until April. We will be finishing our alphabet unit. I also want to teach a little culture lesson this week. We will spend some time talking about Diego Rivera and his art work. Since Martin Luther King Jr. was celebrated this month, I wanted to choose a person who also felt respect for all people was important. I thought Diego Rivera would be a good person to discuss. He took a stand for the Indian and Mestizo people of Mexico through his art work. His murals are some of the most famous in the world. Hopefully your student enjoys learning about him!

This is one of his murals, The History of Mexico. It can be found in the National Palace of Mexico City.
