We had a great turnout for our Dia de los Muertos celebration!  There was school wide participation for the music performance, traditional dancing, and art making.  I was not able to get to the other areas, so if you have any photos from this event, please send them my way and I will be happy to add them to this post.  Was very glad to find these Fred and Friends Sweet Spirits cookie cutters, they were perfect for the clay skulls.  Here are some photos of the sugar skulls.  Thanks to the RLE staff and guests who made the event a success.  We hope everyone enjoyed it!  ART SMART words: Calaveras (skull), offrenda (offering), altar, marigold and symmetry.  

Ms. Wilson and her intern, Ms. Troha helped students embellish
their clay skulls with feathers, glitter and jewels

The set came with 4 designs.  The templates were easy to handle and plastic over the clay before cutting made for easy removal.
