Dia de los Muertos: Fourth Grade Sugar Skull Portraits

To coincide with our studies of Day of the Dead & Hispanic Heritage Month, fourth grade made these awesome sugar skull portraits.  

I totally stole the lesson from Deep Space Sparkle, and I was not disappointed.  What I loved most about this lesson was that every child succeeded and enjoyed the project so much. The glitter was out of this world, and the only complaint was that I left the tub of "used" glitter by my desk and when the kids walked by during the Halloween parade they kept putting their hands in it.  It is really hard to resist sticking your hands in a tub of glitter.
