Kindergarten Students Visit Dalton's Ofrenda
Kindergarten students have been learning about the Day of the Dead in their First Program Spanish classes. They read a picturebook called Mi Familia Calaca/My Skeleton Family, in which they are introduced to family member vocabulary while also being exposed to the imagery and playfulness of the calacas.
After exploring the holiday in class, they take a trip to "Big Dalton" to visit our school ofrenda. Teachers Nancy D’Ecclesiis, Kavita Rekhi and Marissa Coulehan prepared a scavenger hunt for the students in which they are encouraged to find particular objects on the ofrenda, such as cempasúchil/marigolds, calaveras/skeletons, and pan de muertos/bread of the dead.
