Adventures at SHS: Pinata Project

Recently, the students in Mrs. Hernandez's Spanish classes made pinatas in class. Each

group was gifted with creative freedom to create their own personalized pinata. We've

interviewed Emma Parker, whose group is making a llama. When asked what the hardest part of

this project has been, she responded with, "The hardest part is trying to make the shape look the

way you want it to because you get pictures and it just looks strange and building it with

cardboard is hard in itself. There are perks to it though, the best part has been the teamwork that

we've put in. We've each done different parts, cut different parts, brainstormed different parts,

and it's just been a fun project in general, but getting to work with your group is super

enjoyable." So far, Emma's group is happy about theirs even if it's not exactly what they

expected, but with the work they've put in they think it's great! When asked if she would want to

do it again or never look at a pinata in her life again, Emma stated, "I want to do it again, it's just

fun making them and learning how they use it and why they do it in the culture."
