Students Celebrate Day of the Dead in Spanish Class

All 6th, 7th, and 8th grade Spanish students celebrated Day of the Dead by creating paper skeletons. They cut them out, attached joints with brads (so they could move), and decorated them with bright materials.

We all have songs that we listen to all the time and probably know all the words… jamming out in your room or singing when you think nobody’s listening. I want to know what is the top 10 songs on your I-Pod, MP3, or any other music player! (none of the boys asked would reveal their Top 10, so it’s all ladies today.)

As you can see, nobody listens to the same genre of music. There are many genres such as country, pop, rock, dance, and ballad. Each genre is different from the next. A certain song can tell how you feel about anything. This is why I encourage everyone to listen to many types of music, not just one.
