Millburn Students Learn About The Day Of The Dead

They call it the Day of the Dead in Mexico.

If you want to know more, just ask students in the 6th grade Spanish classes in Millburn Middle School.

On Nov. 1 and 2, teachers María Deraville, Mae Ward and Angela Plumacker continued the class’ annual tradition of researching, studying and preparing presentations and displays about the meaning of the holiday.

As part of their classwork, students researched in the school’s Library Media Center and participated in conversations to compare the perspectives of the Mexican culture to their own traditions and culture in the USA.
