¡Feliz día de los muertos!
Middle schoolers are learning about and celebrating Día de los Muertos in many ways. 5th graders decorated their own sugar skulls, 6th graders created dancing skeletons, and 7th and 8th graders read and discussed a Spanish children's story about a young girl celebrating the memory of her grandmother.

5th Graders Teach 6th Agers
Collaborative Lessons Between Fifth Grade & Sixth Age Are Fun for All!
Yesterday, Sra. Menefee's fifth grade Spanish class traveled to the lower school to work with Sra. Duncan's 6-C Spanish class. (Coincidentally, the fifth grade students were Sra. Duncan's first Sixth Age class at Calvert! She taught them the color song, Los colores by Susy Dorn, five years ago and they STILL love to sing it.) We started off the class greeting each other. 6-C sang their greeting songs and some of the fifth graders sang along. Then, they all sang Los colores together (see the video below). Next, the fifth grade buddies played games to reinforce the color words that the students in 6-C have been learning. After a playing for a bit, the students in 6-C told the fifth grade students about the key features of Spanish artist Joan Miró's work. Together, they completed a color by numbers version of Miró's People and Dog in the Sun. What a fun class! Enjoy the video and slide shows below.
