History at Home Activity for October |
 |
Each month, we post new activities for children to use at home or in school. This month, students can explore the Day of the Dead that is celebrated in Mexico on the first two days of November. This is a time in Mexico to celebrate and remember ancestors who have died. A mask and a skeleton whirlygig are just two of the crafts that are available. |
