Meanwhile, at Hero Elementary,
my students were up
to their noses in a project.
- So what kind of craft
are we supposed to make
with this stuff?
- Ta-da!

- Oh, a hero mask?
- Sí, today
you will work together

I made this mask on a balloon
to give it the right shape.
But I thought maybe
instead of a balloon...Benny?

Bubble up!

Gracias.
Now you can make your hero mask
right on this bubble.
All you need is pieces of
newspaper and something sticky

I don't see anything sticky.
There's some water here,
