What educators are saying

I really love this resource. I am so thankful that you were able to create cultural relevant resorces. I appreciate it. Beautifully done.
My students loved learning the similarities and differences with the two holidays. They all celebrate Halloween, but not all knew about Day of the Dead and what it represented. They were engaged and excited to learn about the holidays and create art based on the holidays.
