This was so fun for my K and 2nd grader, it kept them busy for an hour or so. The activities would be great to do with older kids.

I’m using this with my 2nd grade daughter in a homeschool setting. She is highly motivated and engaged by this unit. It’s the perfect time of year to study this. I plan to show the movie Coco at the end of the unit of study. I was able to get Dia de los Muertos make-up kit at Michael’s for half off so that she can try it herself. All-in-all a few fun unit of study that incorporates a lot of the standards and skills I need to teach. Tech alert- I tried to exchange the youtube linked videos to a safe-you-tube video (cropped and edited so that ads don’t show up), but I wasn’t able to do that. I’m not sure if I just don’t know how or if it’s not possible when editing the google slides for this project. I wanted to do this to minimize distractions when she accesses the videos. It’s quite possible I just don’t know how.

Lots of outside links/videos with ads; vocabulary pronunciation takes you to another website where words need to be reclicked; fun theme, but be wary.
