El Día de los Muertos

On November 1st & 2nd many families in Mexico celebrate el día de los muertos-the Day of the Dead. On these days, the families take time to remember and honor their deceased loved ones. Much preparation goes into this day-families start gettting ready months before the actual day!

We learned some vocabulary that is associated with the Day of the Dead. The 8th graders are expertos and can answer questions about what happens on November 1st & 2nd. After viernes the 7th graders can show you their máscaras. Ask to see one!
