Locust Valley Central School District

Locust Valley Middle School students celebrated Dia de los Muertos or Day of the Dead in Mrs. Juana Adames’ Spanish classes on Nov. 3 with fun activities like word searches and Loteria that gave students a chance to practice their Spanish vocabulary. Students also colored in a Day of the Dead mural and made friendship bracelets with messages in Spanish. In between activities, students also sat down to watch Disney’s “Coco,” which focuses on the Day of the Dead and Spanish culture. The celebration acted as a hands-on learning experience to complement the curriculum and the students’ studies of language and culture.
