Teacher Vision created “ Making Inferences, Too Many Tamales” for k-3.There are lots of different lesson plans out there for Too Many Tamales. Lots of times they are surprised to find out how different their classmates’ celebrations are from their own. It’s the perfect book to lead into a discussion about all the different foods that are part of students’ winter holiday celebrations. It’s a fun story that my students always enjoyed. She only meant to wear it for a minute, but suddenly the ring was gone, and Maria and her siblings are left with 24 tamales that just might contain the missing ring. She decides to try on her mother’s diamond ring. In the story, the main character Maria is helping her mother prepare the tamales for Christmas dinner. One of my favorite children’s books for this time of year is Gary Soto’s Too Many Tamales. These just may help you get through these last couple of weeks of school before winter break! As I was researching books and materials for our last two En la Clase posts on Las Posadas, I came across some other really beautiful books and fun activities that are perfect for December.
