Sugar Skulls - Calaveras de azucar

Fourth and fifth graders have been learning about the cultural perspectives and products that accompany the Día de los Muertos holiday.  Today students were excited to work with real sugar skulls--calaveras--imported from Mexico and to design their own imaginative creations.  Sugar skulls are a traditional part of the holiday and are often given as gifts for the Day of the Dead.  See our calavera gallery below!
