El Día de los Muertos

Our next big project is a poster to represent altars for the Day of the Dead. The students will work on creating posters online that will honor a famous Spanish speaking person who has already passed away. Check back later in the month to check out what they make. Here are some pictures of altars from the Day of the Dead celebration in some hispanic countries.

Copy and paste the following link to see some more altars and the meanings of each item...

IWLA Conference

This was the first time I attended this conference. It was a great experience and I was able to get lots of good ideas for my classroom. Now, all I need is time to check out all of the great sites and ideas that were shared. I met teachers from all over the world and it was a great place for networking. I feel even more excited to go back to the classroom and try out the new ideas.
I will post the new activities as we try them...
