El Día de los Muertos
One more year we have been learning about the Mexican celebration of The Day of the Dead. Many children were already familiar with it and those who didn't know anything were fascinated to learn that it is not a scary, but a happy celebration. Families and friends get together and honor the relatives who passed away by building altars and visiting and decorating their graves. From November 1 to 4 you can go to Navy Pier and experience this celebration first hand, well the next closest thing after traveling to Mexico and seeing for yourself...
