So today we celebrated Cinco de Mayo, Which Is Not Mexican Independence Day©. Step one is to tie up the piñata so that no one has any hope of ever destroying it.
My 3rd period class looks totally harmless!


But give them a bat and the promise of candy, and they turn into bloodthirsty beasts!

No one shares on Cinco de Mayo. Actually, I think we were all just glad that Kevin agreed to get off the ground and stop using his torso as a candy shield.
4th period's piñata took a little longer to decimate. Cynthia tried.
So did Nick.
And Nadia.
And Jhonas.
And Jesus.
I especially enjoyed keeping the piñata away from Jesus. And Nick. And Jhonas.
Valerie also tried, swinging the bat like Mario on Donkey Kong. (It was incredibly disturbing: be glad you weren't there.)
And then Cristal finally cracked it open!
I would like to know how Knox managed to balance a Kit-Kat between his shoulder blades while the mosh pit swirled around him...

Happy Cinco de Mayo!
