I really enjoyed our unit on Mardi Gras. Even though I don't give up anything for Lent, I thought it was a great idea that we were assigned to create a day of our own that we would have to give up for the Lent period. During this huge party before Lent, people party it up and enduldge in a full day of pigging out, dancing, and singing. For my day I created Singing Day and made cup cakes with little music notes on them with Kelsey who had Chocolate Day. I liked everyone elses ideas of how they would spend their day, especially Mykul's short/rubics cube day. I thought it that creating our own day was a great way to show the class what we enjoyed participating in. I also thought creating our own Mardi Gras mask was a fun way to top off the lesson.
