Spanish II students recently partnered with second-grade library students for a fun and meaningful learning experience celebrating the Hispanic holiday, Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead).

Invited by Mrs. Katz, the Spanish students worked with the younger learners to explore the traditions and significance of this cultural celebration. Together, they read a story about Día de los Muertos, watched a short video explaining different aspects of the tradition, and decorated papel picado, the colorful, cut-paper decorations often displayed during the holiday.

Our Spanish students were excited to participate in this special opportunity to share their learning, engage with younger students, and serve as mentors. Experiences like this allow students to build connections, strengthen their understanding of Hispanic culture, and learn from one another in meaningful ways. What a fantastic opportunity we have when students of all ages learn together under one roof!
