On Friday, October 31st, BRHS students in Mrs. Cousineau’s Spanish classes learned about Day of the Dead. Day of the Dead is a Hispanic holiday celebrated from 10/31 through 11/2 where the people remember and honor their loved ones who have died.
After learning about this holiday the students created their own sugar skulls using rice krispie treats, frosting, m&ms, twizzlers, and sprinkles. The students really enjoyed this hands on activity and some came up with very creative sugar skulls! (A sugar skull is typically made entirely out of a sugar paste, molded into the shape of a skull, and hardened. Once hardened, a sugar skull is decorated and put on display at the market, in someone’s home, or at the grave of a loved one.)
