Field+Trip+To+The+Peabody+Museum+of+Harvard

====We had a great field trip to The Peabody Museum of Harvard. The students got the opportunity to check out the amazing altars and ofrendas created by other students. One altar was dedicated to the angelitos or children who died. The altar was decorated with juguetes, dulces,calaveras, pan de muerto, and calacas. The students were able to answer all of the questions the docent giving the presentation asked about el dia de los muertos. Lunch was steak,chicken or vegetarian burritos,tortilla chips y salsa y una galleta de chocolate. After our self guided tour of the museum the students made cempasuchitl or las flores - marigold paper flowers. The boys did an especially great job. I finally figured out how to make a pretty tissue paper flower! The overall experience was great- beautiful day, interesting exhibits, comida deliciosa and very well behaved students. Now if we could only figure out how to avoid Boston traffic.====
