Ms. Gina's kindergarteners celebrated the day with Traditional Kings Cake, beads and gold coins. The legend is that the person who receives the piece of cake with the gold coin is crowned the king or queen of Mardi Gras and has the responsibility of hosting the next party and supplying next years kings cake. Mason Reyes joyously discovered the chocolate coved gold coin in his slice of cake. The children water colored Masquerade masks and then added glitter and feathers to complete the festive masks.
The children studied about the tradition of Mardi Gras and how it is a celebration of the riches and joys of life before we prepare ourselves for the Easter Season and the death and resurrection of Christ.
