Day of the Dead




El Día de los Muertos or Day of the Dead is celebrated in many Spanish speaking countries.
It sounds kind of morbid, but actually this is a happy holiday where people remember their
loved ones who have died.  On November 1st, the loved ones who died as children are remembered 
and on November 2nd, the loved ones who died as adults are remembered.
Almost every home will have an ofrenda set up for their deceased loved ones.  These ofrendas 
hold a photo of the deceased as well as many of their favorite items/foods from when they were
alive.  
Señora Baker's students celebrated El Día de los Muertos by making projects they shared with
the class.  The students got to choose either an art project/decoration, or a traditional food
item such as sugar or chocolate skulls, mole, cakes, etc.  Señora Reams' students will celebrate
on Monday, November 7th.
