Working together and sharing paint!

Today was pajama day for Dr. Seuss's Sleep Book! Although many of us had never heard of that book, we surely weren't going to complain about wearing PJ's to work! :) The kids were so happy this morning talking about the colors, patterns, and styles of their pajamas. We didn't have one pair of students in the same ones! I was shocked. We watched The Lorax which is another Dr. Seuss Book. In addition, we completed a Math graph for One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish! They turned out adorable! I think one of the highlights of the day for the kids was to work on an Art project with Mrs. Smith! Students created a picture of the ocean using "rubbing" and stamps! Students were given pieces of construction paper with dried glue waves, paper seaweed, and rock on them. They took their white sheet of paper and rubbed of the glue waves with blue to make waves in the ocean, green for the seaweed, and brown for the rocks. They then used paint and foam stamps along with red, orange, and purple paint to place fish and other sea creatures onto their picture! I loved Mrs. Smith's idea of using the foam shapes (I see these at Michael's Arts and Crafts) and using foam glue to stick them onto pieces of chip board to become a stamp! ...very creative! Thanks for the great idea Mrs. Smith! We'll see you again next Wednesday!
