5th Graders Create Panamanian Mola Art

In 5th grade Spanish this semester, students with teacher Victoria Bryant learned about the tradition of the Panamanian mola, a style of art that originates from the Guna people of Panama; molas are typically handmade textiles that are part of women's clothing, often depicting animals. They also learned about different animals found in Panama and how to write sentences in Spanish to describe their own paper mola, giving their animals a name, where they are from, and expressing the colors they picked.
