November 1 and 2 are called the Days of the Dead in Mexico -
Días de los Muertos (it sounds much more poetic in Spanish!!)
This is a very special time to remember loved ones who have passed
away and spend time with the family. It is a holiday that brings
families together to celebrate and to share memories and stories
about loved ones. It is a beautiful celebration of life!!
Day of The Dead is a beautiful holiday in Mexico on November 1 and 2.
It is a time to honor the memory of the deceased members of your
family.
Below is a PowerPoint presentation that explains
the holiday for students. I am hoping that they will look at it
with families at home. I really encourage you to do this, if at all
possible.
The Project directions and components are below.
If you choose cooking or a craft,you are also welcome to research your own craft
or recipe for Day of the Dead. Please be sure to record website/location where
you found it.
