Dia de los Muertos

Guest Blog Post by Karen Van Nest, Lakeside Middle School Teacher





We are so proud of our LMS immersion and Spanish language students for all the hard work they put in to our Dia de los Muertos exhibit!  We have been learning all about this colorful, popular Mexican holiday and our students had the opportunity to share their knowledge in a variety of ways.  Some groups created altars or informational displays.  Others wrote poems called "Calaveras", made dioramas, or informational folders.  There were so many fun activities like face painting, paper flower making, papel picado making, games and even a photo booth!  Guests had the opportunity to sample foods made specific for this holiday such as  pan de muerto (bread of the dead), mole and tamales.  There was a wide variety of things to do and see! A big thanks to Ms. Drake, who directed The Harmonies (LMS Choir) for the event. Thank you Señora Hudson and Señorita Torres for helping to make this event a success!
