Read together
Once upon a time, there was a little boy named Miguel who wanted to celebrate Mexican Independence Day. He wanted to decorate his house with lots of colorful decorations and learn how to practice independence.
So, Miguel went to his grandmother who taught him to decorate the house with traditional Mexican decorations like papel picado and pinatas.
Next, Miguel practiced being independent by completing tasks while blindfolded. He learned how to do things on his own and felt proud of himself.
On Mexican Independence Day, Miguel’s family and friends came over to celebrate. They admired all the decorations and were amazed at how independent Miguel had become. They all had a fantastic time celebrating together.
The end.
