Day of the Dead

Hey parents I just wanted to throw this idea out.... The Day of the Dead is a Mexican holiday that is celebrated around the 1st of November......I was interested in talking about this with the Second graders because it is one more way for them to get perspective on other cultures and cultural holidays. This holiday is celebrated as a way to celebrate and honor those that have passed away, it is not a Halloween thing nor is it a day where anything "weird" happens- families get together clean a loved ones grave site, reconnect with family and socialize. There are many great family traditions that go along with this, people that celebrate cook, eat and discuss the times they had with a loved one and just honor the life that people had.

I would be reading a book about it from our library and then the students would color in a "sugar skull", these are created all over Mexico during this time and they are just colorful decorations that have designs on them- I have no intention of this becoming a morbid activity- but a way for your student to learn about another culture. Please give me some feed back on this or if you would like more information I can direct you to the links below!

Thank You
