Today, Sam and I read aloud "Celebrations in Latin America" (textbook pages 86, 87). October 12 "Dia de la raza" is about celebrating diversity. November 1 "Dia de los Muertos" is about honoring important people who passed away. People bring flowers to their graves. December 31st is about celebrating the new year. It is important to understand and learn about culture. I asked Sam about her community and some events they celebrate.
