As you can imagine, parents, our class was delightful: we combined the concepts of family members and pets whom we love and those loved ones who have passed away. The chiquitos brought pictures of their families and grandparents and shared about them. They also brought gifts and mementos from their grandparents. We shared hot chocolate with cinnamon and a bit of almond flavor, which is a festive drink associated with the holiday of Dia de los Muertos in Mexico. After making creative masks, the children wore funny hats and paraded around the room. It was a sweet combination of Halloween and All Saints Day. Thanks, parents, for following up by sending the requested items. Your children are very special!! I will make a vocabulary list of all the words and send home coloring and practice sheets. We will review our songs in class. You can help your children by enjoying the CD and the song and chant sheets. Senora Lucy
