Welcome!

Hello,

Welcome to Ms. Alleva's blog. Here you will some useful links and resources to help you. I will also update you on monthly themes and activities based on what we are doing in class.

ESL Period 3

For the next two weeks, we will be working on a "Halloween Around The World" theme. We will be studying the history of Halloween. We will learn about how different countries celebrate Halloween as well. We will compare the countries' celebrations to our Halloween celebrations, as well as "Dia De Los Muertos".

Here is a link to a video on the History of Halloween.
