Second graders make skeletons for Dios los Muertos

TGS students of all ages have been making papel picado, tissue paper flowers, drawings, guaguas ('bread babies') and other decorative arts to display on our Dios los Muertos altar in celebration of the Ecuadorian and Central/South American holiday of the Day of the Dead.  Second graders created skeleton sculptures using wire and masking tape, then painted on bones with tempera.  Many of them are carrying their decapitated heads!
