October 31 Party

Yesterday we had a fall party in our room at the end of the day! Most of us here celebrate Halloween but we also started learning about something that will come up again later in the year. In the early spring we study Mexico as a social studies unit and right now Mexico is celebrating the Day of the Dead. Dia de los Muertos is a holiday where Mexican people celebrate loved ones who are no longer living and it takes place just after our Halloween. We read about the Mexican holiday and made sugar skull masks that look similar to ones used during Dia de los Muertos. Here are some photos from our celebration!
