We worked together to create a beautiful display for our Under the Sea theme last week.
Using recyclables (cardboard tubes and egg boxes), we painted a bubble-filled background on blue butcher paper . . .
. . . while others worked to make cardboard squid:
Some of us sponge painted "R" shapes to look like reef. Did you know sponges actually come from the ocean? ;)
Eventually we added some other fun items, including the cool cardboard fish we'd been working on the week before - but not until we'd used them for a little addition practice!
We fished in two separate "ponds," gathering the fish in a basket, then counted our total catch. (The process was similar to what we did here with eggs. This time, however, some children drew out their own addition problems as a way of leaning into that next developmental step.)
Our mural is now hanging in the corridor, and we've been getting lots of compliments on our hard work! As always, pictures of the finished product to come . . . stay tuned :)
