Spanish II Students Observe Dia de los Muertos
Ms. Rowland's Spanish II students celebrated Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead)! Students learned about the similarities and differences between Halloween and Day of the Dead, and displayed their findings on Venn diagrams. They also created individual ofrendas for a lost loved one, made tissue paper Day of the Dead flowers, and decorated skull masks. On November 2nd, students brought in a picture, momento, or letter of a lost loved one for a class ofrenda (offering table/altar) to celebrate and honor their life.
