Many people believe that the Day of the Dead is the Mexican version of Halloween.  This is not true. . . The Day of the Dead is a Mexican holiday celebrated on November 2nd of each year.  It is a time for remembrance of loved ones lost and ancestors that came before us.  People dress in skeleton masks and festive outfits to celebrate life after death.

In honor of Dia de los Muertos:

4th and 5th graders are making sugar skull two way drawings that may represent different people or different aspects of themselves.

3rd graders are working on sugar skull collage.  

K-2 are still working on a variety of line and shape artworks.  They will be introduced to Day of the Dead concepts a bit later in the month.

So excited to share in this celebratory Mexican tradition this month!
