Sugar Skulls
By Liam
In November 2016, the 5th grade students of Glenridge Elementary School made Mexican sugar skulls to support Day Of The Dead. The Spanish teacher made the ingredients needed to make the sugar skulls happen, If you don’t know what a sugar skull is, it is a skull made of sugar decorated in icing.
The students Were all excited to hear that they would be making sugar skulls, they all said “YAY!!!” in excitement. Rhadi said “sugary!”. Ian said “I was bummed to hear that we couldn’t eat the skulls due to germs”. Evan said “The icing part was fun and hard but seemed pretty short”. All three of the Spanish teachers (One for each of of the three elementary schools in the district) Made the Icing that would be used to decorate the sugar skulls with festive colors, They also had the special meringue sugar to make them keep their shape. The skulls got their shape by a plastic mold.
All of the the 5th grade students were bummed to hear that they couldn’t eat the sugar skull from sicknesses going around like a cold or whooping cough. But at the same time they excited to show some spirit and celebrate day of the dead in a festive and fun way.
I liked how you added specific details and many quotes. Did you think about adding some more about the icing process?
