SEMANA 13: DEL 31 DE OCTUBRE AL 4 DE NOVIEMBRE (WEEK 13: OCTOBER 31 TO NOVEMBER 4)

Me llamo espantapajaros Manolito

Hola, espero que tengan un buen Halloween:

And November is here!!! Three more weeks to our Thanksgiving break!!! Bravo!!! I can't wait for the holidays and you?

It has been a busy week; we have worked on our project, we had make- up quiz, we have learned new irregular verbs and we have learned about a unique celebration in Mexico and in some countries in Central America El dia de los Muertos:

Soy el Senor Huesos

The holiday focuses on gatherings of family and friends to pray 

for and remember friends and family members who have died.
It is particularly celebrated in Mexico, where it attains the quality
of a National Holiday. The celebration takes place on November 1st
and 2nd. See more information about this celebration on page 

"Culture" at the top- right of the blog.

" I think Dia de los muertos is a great holiday because it is important to honor the dead and  do it in such a festive fun way" -MR 6th grade

"I think this holidya is very unique. There are not many countries that have so much respect for something and so little fear for death and have fun while doing it" -MG 6th grade

Here some pics of the students working on their project: Dia de los muertos:
