November 1st and 2nd are full of celebrations in Mexico and other parts of Latin America. Miss Wilson’s classes joined in el Dia de los Muertos (the Day of the Dead) celebrations on Wednesday. We learned about why and how this holiday is celebrated all around the world. Each class created an ofrenda (altar/offering) using cempasuchitl (marigolds), papel picado, candles, favorite foods, water, salt, and their very own paper calaveras de azúcar (sugar skulls). The Day of the Dead sounds scary, but we learned that it is meant to be a celebration with food, music, and dancing for those of our friends and family who have died. So, if you have any questions about El Dia de los Muertos, ask Miss Wilson’s students!
