    5B’s Sugar Skulls

Day 1:

5B a 5th grade class was down by the Spanish room at glenridge elementary in mid November waiting to go inside. When 5B went in the room they saw some of 5S students making their sugar skulls so they new it was  the thing that they got to do that was really fun, sugar skulls!

Señora Kennerly, the school Spanish teacher, told 5B students to sit on the carpet and that she would talk to them in a moment. After 5S students left, Señora Kennerly explained to 5B students that they were making sugar skulls today.

In the classroom there were 4 tables and one table was for the sugar skull making, the other three tables were for working on the crossword, and the rest of the people sat on the carpet because the table where they were making sugar skulls was where they originally sat. As 5B was working on the crossword Señora Kennerly called up some of 5B students to make their sugar skull. After a few students made their sugar skull Señora Kennerly announced that she did not have enough sugar to make more. The people who did not get  to do their sugar skull would have to do it the next day.

Day 2:

5B was lined up at the Spanish door waiting to go in. When they got inside the room Señora Kennerly told the students that those who didn’t get to do their sugar skulls yesterday get to do it today. The students who already made their sugar skulls get to decorate them. At the end of Spanish class, 5B walked back to their classroom.

Day 3:

5B was waiting outside of the Spanish room on a D day. Señora greeted 5B in and told the students to sit on the carpet and she told the students of 5B that at the end of spanish that they should take their sugar skulls. Then she told the students that didn’t decorate their sugar skull that they would do it today. The students went to the two back tables in the room, after Señora Kennerly told the rest of the class what they were doing she told the group that was decorating on how they were going to decorate without breaking the bag. When the time was up Señora Kennerly lined 5B up so that the teacher could pick them up.
