Hello, everyone, welcome to class, I have pumpkin loaf, pumpkin spice muffins, and ginger pumpkin soup if you are hungry.

As you may know, today is Día de los Muertos. Today, we are going to use some of our skills to prepare simple decorations and craft projects from the festival, and learn about traditions of other cultures, which is always important to consider when having a social gathering!

Please complete at least one of the following projects, and you can take your work home with you to share or enjoy yourself!
Sugar Skulls
Paper Flowers
A piece of Folk Art

Look at the project the cats made. Aren't they adorable? I am going to kill them with my bare hands, and laugh about it.

She take s deep breath, she's not as upset about the whole thing than she was but it was still pretty painful

"we broke up, I did a few things to the house, but well not as much as I had planned, what should I do now?" she asks

"I'm so sorry. Do you have a place to stay? That's what you get you living in sin! And don't worry about your assignment, we can come up with something. Perhaps you could come up with a plan for redoing a room in a way that would make you happy."

Paige smiles "yeah I'm living in the West Attic with another student, thank you. So if I just work on how I'd decorate a room without actually doing it that would be ok? Because I'd like to do that."

"That's absolutely fine. Why don't you find some sample of what you would decorate with, and write up a design proposal? That would be more than okay."

Paige smiles "That sounds great, thank you Mrs Van De Kamp"
