Cinco de Mayo

Cinco De Mayo (On My Own Holidays)Cinco de Mayo is a fiesta day celebrated on May 5th in Mexico and the United States. It is a celebration of Mexico's defeat of the French army at the Battle of Puebla in 1862. This account for early readers is written by Linda Lowery, and illustrated by Minnesotan Barbara Knutson. It is a good classroom resource for Cinco de Mayo this week.
