Mrs. Openshaw's class learned about Dia de los Muertos during the month of October, and then on November 1st & 2nd, celebrated the holiday by putting together an ofrenda. Students brought pictures of loved ones to be displayed on their class ofrenda, and enjoyed telling their classmates about the person in their picture. They also had the opportunity to eat Pan de Muertos, a sweet eaten and displayed on ofrendas during the holiday. It was a great opportunity for students to learn about another culture, and the way they celebrate their loved ones.
