Hello!
Here are some more pictures from the fair that our preschool and kindergarten students put on for Independence Day. These once take us back to the time of the Taínos, the indigenous people who were here long before the Spanish arrived on the island in 1492.

| "First Inhabitants" |
 |
| Casabe bread made from yuca (cassava) |
 |
| Honey and root vegetables still popular today |
 |
| Commonly used mortar and pestle |
 |
| Taíno costumes |
 |
| Visiting third graders |
The Taínos eventually died out but remnants of their art and culture remain. Tourist areas are filled with paintings like these that copy their drawings.
Part 3 of the Independence Day fair will be coming on Monday.
Have a great week-end!
