Students learned about the Mexican tradition, Day of the Dead. Day of the Dead is a Mexican holiday celebrated throughout Mexico and around the world in other cultures. The holiday focuses on gatherings of family and friends to remember friends and family members who have passed away. It is particularly celebrated in Mexico and takes place on October 31, November 1 and November 2. Traditionally, family members create Sugar Skulls and Papel Picado to decorate their loved ones’ graves. Other objects such as photos, food, and flowers are also used. Students created their own sugar skulls using paper, markers, and colored pencils.
