Students of Maternal II, Pre-School I and Pre-School II and their parents participated. The goal was to show a little of what children have been learning in the classroom in a playful way to the parents.
The classes were divided into 3 groups and each group worked one activity type. The first one worked the paints made by the Indians and the parents painted their children. The second one worked Indian adornments and parents and students made necklaces and headdresses together. The third one made rattles, usually used in festivals and religious ceremonies and warriors.
In the end, all parents and students gathered to do the indigenous dance. The Indian dances to celebrate acts, facts and deeds pertaining to life and customs. They dance while they prepare the war; when they return from it; to celebrate a cacique, vintages, fruit ripening, a good fishery; to mark adolescent puberty or to honor dead in funeral rites; disease, epidemics and other scourges.
