Today was a great day at school today! I was so pleased to see that the sugar rush from Halloween has worn off and all of the students were back in their normal routines. Congratulations!
Today we learned about Los Dias de los Muertos - a Mexican holiday where loved ones who have died are celebrated. To do this we made skulls that were decorated with a lot of different colors and patterns like the the ones made in Mexico on November 1st and 2nd. We also made tissue paper marigolds which are meant to help the spirits of loved ones find their families. The kids really liked learning some Spanish phrases and words. My Spanish is a little rusty (the last time I took Spanish was 5 years ago in high school) but it is great to get to practice it again and share it with my students who love it so much!
Tomorrow is library so don't forget to bring your library books!
