Field Trip to the Tortilla Factory

Field Trip to the Tortilla Factory
Friday all of the kindergarten students walked about two blocks to a local tortilla factory.  The children saw how corn tortillas are made from corn kernel to a cooked tortilla. After walking through the small factory, the students were given a fresh tortilla filled with queso.  The parents received one too, but I added some salsa to mine.  It certainly was tasty. 
While the children were waiting for their turn to tour the factory, Sra. Oliver gathered her pollitos around her and the children sang several songs, in Spanish.  Just watching the children and how engaged they were in their singing brought tears to my eyes.  I am just amazed at how seemingly easily all of the kids have acquired so much of the Spanish language already.
