Dia de los muertos is a holiday celebrated all around the world, but the celebrations in Mexico have gotten the most attention. Cessy had a great Dia de los Muertos celebration in her classroom on Nov. 2. Our colleague and figurine expert, Maria Yniguez, brought the lesson to life with all of this great realia! The children even participated in a construction of a real alter. This memory celebration is about telling stories, eating favorite food, singing, etc. The students created paper plate skull masks and wrapped up the lesson with a taste of yummy pan dulce. Great job!
 | Cessy used Holiday Mini Books (bilingual books) by fellow TPT author Nicole Sanchez in this social studies lesson. It was a great way to bring in second language into the lesson! The mini book also gave students an opportunity to extend their learning at home. Hooray! |
| This other book, Paquito Y Abuelito along with the video below made the experience complete. |  |
