Fourth grade researched the holiday, Day of the Dead and compared/contrasted to Halloween. We learned that it is a celebration of life and not scary at all. The students focused on the use of a sugar skull as part of the celebration. First we used paper mache to create a basic mask, then painted it white. Then they researched what kind of decorations are used on the sugar skulls before decorating their own. Finally they added unique details and accessories to make it their own. All of them were very different and true to their personalities. What an awesome job they did!
