Halloween Alter

On October 31st, my mom and I will be decorating our altar for day of the dead!!! We decorate our altar with all different kinds of fruits, like guavas, banana, pineapple, apple, oranges, jicama, persimmon, and tangerines. We also put aguinaldos. If you don't know what that is, then I will explain it to you. An aguinaldo is a kind of decorations like tables with every kind of foods on it, except it is not real. We also put sugar skulls with lots of decorations on it.

Another thing we put is, this kind of pot with candy glued on it because it is not real. The last thing we put is, a bowl with rice, chicken, and mole. We buy this kind of bread, that is called bread of the dead, which they call in Spanish Pan De Muerto. We put another table under the alter because we put food there for the dead. I hope our plan turns out great and I hope I will enjoy helping my mom.  

Halloween Pumpkin Making

One day I was walking from school to go home and as usual I see a Farmer’s Market. There at the Farmer’s Market there’s this man. Every time the farmer’s market is there he gives me free strawberries because he is selling them.

But he was not at his stand. Which seemed suspicious! I spotted him buying groceries from the market. I tried to get his attention but it was hopeless. It was like to him I was not there.

Also I saw this lady passing by and at first she passed me and then she came and said, "We are decorating pumpkins. Would you like to decorate one/"   I said sure because I felt very tired from school. so I thought if I learning in school I should at least have some activity to do in the meanwhile. I asked my mom and she said yes so I just went WHOO!  I loved all the options  that they had. And there was a few pumpkins but I chose the biggest pumpkin they had it was orange.

Why I Chose The Decorations I Chose?

         My decision was googly eyes to make maybe similar to pumpkins I have seen and some that I haven’t seen before.

          I chose sharpies because they added a lot of color, they are permanent, and they were the only marker available.
