Students in 8th Grade Explore Spanish took part in a cultural lesson on "Día de los Muertos," in which they learned about the history, products, and customs of this Mexican tradition. They then decorated "calavera" cookies to celebrate. The calavera is a common symbol used in Mexico during celebrations for "Día de los Muertos."
