Dia de los Muertos celebrations!

Help me give my students a Dia de Los Muertos experience. Many of my students' families come from Mexico and I'd like them to experience and share this holiday with their classmates!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Freitas's classroom raised $222

My Project

I love that our school is so diverse! I have students from all over the world. I would like to honor those of Hispanic descent, especially our large Mexican population.

We'd like to celebrate Dia de los Muertos this year.

Many of my students celebrate this instead of Halloween and want to share it with their classmates. We're asking for decoration and craft supplies for this year's celebration.

We'll be learning what the hanging decorations represent, making sugar skulls out of foam and enjoying reading a bilingual book.

We can't wait!
