School sure is going to be busy and fun this week! We have red ribbon week, Halloween, and a half day on Friday! Wow! My favorite part of this week is getting to teach my students about Dia de los Muertos, or Day of the Dead. It sounds spooky and scary, however, it is a really happy and fun holiday. It is celebrated in Mexico, and families gather together and celebrate and remember their loved ones. Many people think it is how they celebrate Halloween in Mexico but that is not correct. It is totally different than Halloween. What could be better than a big party with all of your family where you eat, dance, sing, and tell funny stories about your family memebers? If you want to learn more about Dia de los Muertos you can check it out here: http://archive.azcentral.com/ent/dead/. This is one of my favorite websites about Dia de los Muertos.
