Before School Is Out, Learn about Bastille Day!

Vive le quatorze juillet!  Long live the 14th of July!  Pepper is back in France.  This time for la Fête Nationale, the National Holiday, better known as Bastille Day in English-speaking countries.  

Learn with Pepper about the start of the French Revolution, the storming of the Bastille and the celebrations that followed in later years that lead to la Fête Nationale on July 14.  Understand why Marie-Antoinette was accused of saying “Qu’ils mangent de la brioche,” let them eat cake, and why another day was called "La journée des brouettes," the day of the wheelbarrows.  Pick up some French vocabulary along the way.  On TpT at:  Bastille Day or really La Fête Nationale with Pepper.

Cinco de Mayo, the fifth of May, celebrates the Battle of Puebla in Mexico when a small Mexican army fought off an attack by a large French army in 1862.  Cinco de Mayo has been celebrated in the U.S. since 1862, first in California by Latinos then by more people in other parts of the U.S.  Cinco de Mayo is celebrated in the State of Puebla in Mexico and is called El Día de la Batalla de Puebla.
