Prairie Creek's 4-5 grade Elms class hosted a mini Mercado. Last year the class participated in a larger study of Latin American cultures and topped it off the larger event. This year, because they were involved with a different area of study, they scaled down their ventures.
The students broke into groups of 3 - 4 and decided what kind of merchants they wanted to be. They sold baked goods, trinkets, face painting, tacos, Mexican sodas and sweets. St. Olaf students came and helped them make their transactions in Spanish and presented a Puppet Show. A small table was set up to honor friends, relatives and pets as a part of the "Day of the Dead."
Once again, Prairie Creek does projects and presentations well!
