This Cafecito helped to prepare the students and families for the upcoming school-wide Día de los Muertos celebration that was scheduled for October. The students and families each created their own Milagros (a small token or image that individuals keep to honor their loved ones. Various types of calaveras are often used on the family ofrendas (altars). Everyone was given a thin piece of aluminium with the edges taped. They used a pencil tip and a stencil of a metal calavera (skull) and poked holes outlining the skull. Then, they decorated the calaveras and we used them for the school Día de los Muertos ofrenda.
