¡LS Spanish classes celebrate Día de los Muertos!

Lower School Spanish classes from EC to 5th grade spent the end of October learning about Mexico and their special holiday Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) in preparation for our celebration of the holiday on Monday, November 2!

Each class prepared something to decorate our Lower School ofrenda (alter) which is the focal point of the holiday:

*  Kindergarteners in KS made paper flores (flowers) with the help of Miss York.

*  First graders in 1E made paper plate skeleton masks.

* Second graders in 2E made tin engraved calaveras (skulls).  They also hosted the 11th grade students in Spanish IV who came to visit our ofrenda with Sra. McEwan.

* Third grade Spanish student made tissue paper papel picados (paper with cut-out designs).  No fiesta is complete without strings of papel picados banners!

*  Fourth grade Spanish students made Catrina-style esqueletos (skeletons) dressed in a variety costumes.

*  Fifth grade Spanish students made beautifully designed calaveras azúcar (sugar skulls) with the help of Mrs. McCrimmon.
