Students also wrote an essay creatively advocating for that animal.

Pour Paintings- Art Enrichment Students

• Pour painting is an innovative way to use paints to create an art piece.
• Instead of using tools like brushes or knives to create a piece of art, fluid paints can be poured directly onto the surface, which is tilted to move the paint around.

Day of the Dead- Grade 5

Day of the Dead combines the ancient Aztec custom of celebrating ancestors with All Souls' Day, a holiday that Spanish invaders brought to Mexico starting in the early 1500s.

The holiday, which is celebrated mostly in Mexico on November 1 and 2, is like a family reunion—except dead ancestors are the guests of honor. Day of the Dead is a joyful time that helps people remember the deceased and celebrate their memory.
