Another sheet asks the students to make something out of the heart creatively using patterns.
Fun and easy way to incorporate Spanish or to learn new words using the Day of the Dead (Dia de los Muertos) theme.

Project-based learning activity where students create a super store in either English or Spanish (both are included). There are essential questions about marketing and economics, as well as language. It can integrate mathematics, writing, and art. It is a great way to infuse technology with an L1/L2 and ELA class.
Dia de Los Muertos activities for Spanish practice, or just for fun. Kids K-5 can choose from a number of activities, from making words out of the title "Dia de los Muertos" to creating their own "calavera". They can also make sentences and an easy word bank in Spanish is available so that even teachers who do not speak Spanish can still give the activity.

If you use Wixie or Pixie, this can be the model lesson for your students to create their own prez.
