Check out this great film clip made by Dani in Spanish III. The project was to use 5 reflexive verbs to create a short film or advertisement. In her cat video Dani demonstrates how we use verbs in real life - well, if cats could talk that is!

Sugar Skulls
 |
| Making the sugar mixture |

| Unmolded skulls |

| Yum!!! |
This past week, students in grades 4th through 8th, had the opportunity to create authentic sugar skulls and Mexican hot chocolate for Dia de los Muertos. In September, classes did a webquest on Diego Rivera and learned how his art style popularized skeleton and skull art in Mexico, in early October they viewed a PBS documentary on the Mexican holiday and learned more about the practices of skull making and decorating. and finally they tried their hands at the art; carefully molding wet sand-like sugar into their own creations and decorating them. Students had lots of fun getting sugar all over and now let's hope the ants don't learn about it too!!!
