1st Grade Dia de Los Muertos Skeletons

I FINALLY had time today to take some pictures of the first grade classes working on their Dia De Los Muertos skeleton projects.  Today we had fun using shapes to create our skeleton faces!  Flowers for eyes, hearts for noses, and ovals for teeth.  

The first graders learned all about Dia De Los Muertos and it's connection to All Soul's Day.  


Questions to ask your 1st grader: 

-What country celebrates Dia de Los Muertos?
-What Catholic holy day celebrates those that have passed away?
-How do people celebrate Dia de Los Muertos?
