Saludos queridas familias.
This week we finished the Ofrendas for Día de los Muertos. The
creative range of the class to remember their departed loved ones was truly
endearing. Each student decorated two molded traditional sugar skulls I
provided, with brilliant colors of Royal Icing and, their favorite, the
contents of one of the containers from my wife Nancy
As they left the classroom carrying their Ofrendas, several
students were eager to continue adding to them at home. Please encourage them
to do so, and if possible take a moment during the weekend help them welcome
the lasting spirit of their loved one by sharing a memory of their life.
The Santa Cruz Museum of Art and History (MAH) will have a Día de
los Muertos exhibit which includes Ofrendas from the community at large. It
takes place in the main lobby and there is no entrance fee. I stopped by
earlier this week and there was already quite a collection! If you have a spare
moment, check it out! The MAH is right near the corner of Front and Cooper
Streets.
Next week we will work on el
Calendario – de segundos a siglos (the Calendar – from seconds to centuries).
We will also try to include major holidays, so if your family celebrates a
favorite, please send that on with your child. We’ll do our best to find a
Spanish translation for it.
Hasta el próximo
Miércoles,
Hasta el próximo Miércoles,
