K-3rd Grade: Food Truck Fun!

In celebration of Hispanic Heritage month, students will learn to appreciate Hispanic culture through food. We will read the book Mice and Beans, which focuses on food as an essential cultural element. Together we will establish our very own food truck, where the students will make tortillas from scratch and serve tacos! While we work, we will discuss how the Spanish government and territories impacted the Louisiana Purchase. At the end of class, the students will open their food truck for their families and other Interpretive Center guests.
