Day of the Dead - papel picado

Hello all!

Just a quick note to keep you posted on our progress. This week, we have been learning about the celebration of El día de los muertos (Day of the Dead). We took the opportunity to learn more about diversity by comparing and contrasting it with Halloween. The kids are having a lot of fun working on several projects, such as masks for El día de los muertos, calaveras (sugar skulls), and papel picado (cut paper). We watched a video about the celebration and another about papel picado.  The kids were fascinated by it! On their own, they were able to make a connection with something they’re more familiar with, paper snowflakes. I plan on posting photos of their works of art!
