Today we learned about and celebrated Dia De Los Meurtos, The Day of the Dead. The 3-4 graders taught us about this holiday in Mexico when people celebrate their loved ones who have died. They have special altars where they light candles, wear masks, and hang colorful banners and marigolds. They might have a celebration at the graveyard where they bring the dead their favorite foods. We got to make our own masks and paper marigolds. It was a fun celebration.
