Some activities I did with my pupils this week:
We made an "ofrenda" (altar) for Scooter, a pupil's snake who passed away last year. We said some sentences about him in Spanish, and wrote a few things on pieces of card which we put on the class display. RIP Scooter!

We decorated Día de los Muertos cookies I had baked the night before. The pupils said the colours and the body parts in Spanish while putting the icing on. (I was walking around in the classroom and I said that if I didn't hear them speak Spanish, I would eat up the cookie straight away!)

We haven't had the time to watch videos this week, but here are two from previous years:
La canción de las calaveras:
El baile de los esqueletos (good to practise telling the time)
And I would watch this award winning Día de los Muertos video in class but it makes me cry!!!
Testing my cookie cutters with my kids last week.
entonces en resumen cuando es el dia de los muertos ?
ReplyDeletecreo que era el primero de noviembre ( dia de los vivos y seguido de los muertos )--quizá esto sea aplicable a latinoamerica
