Sugar Skulls by Breyanna

                                                       5B Sugar Skulls

When the fifth graders went to Spanish and they saw other kids from fifth grade doing sugar skulls and they knew they were going to do it too.So the Spanish teacher said, “So as you can see you’re doing  skulls but there is not enough sugar for the whole class.   So we will have some of the class do it today and the next time the other part of the class will do it the next time you come here.”  Sugar skulls are little balls of sugar shaped into a skull and they are edible.  They are part of Day of the Dead tradition.  So she split half of the class up to do sugar skulls and they were doing that while the other half colored a little.  The next day they did it again but switched groups.  Most of the kids in fifth grade did the icing on their skulls.  The sugar skulls are a fun activity for the fifth graders because they are fun to make and fun to eat.  This year the students were told NOT to eat them, because there could be germs on the skulls.  And the skulls were extra large.     Quinn, a fifth grader, said, “It was good decorating and making them.”  Sugar skulls sound pretty fun to make and something students will always remember.
