First Grade students created marigolds from cut paper and pipe cleaners. They made these flowers in honor of Dia de los Muertos (the Day of the Dead), a holiday similar to Memorial Day. This holiday is celebrated in many Latin American countries and takes place on November 1st. Dia de los Muertos celebrates the lives of loved ones who have passed away. Many families place marigolds on the graves of these loved ones. Marigolds are also prevalent in other Dia de los Muertos decorations.
