The classroom gets very messy during production. The students are doing an amazing job of cleaning up after themselves!

Fourth grade students began tracing their original drawing of a fish in preparation for transferring to water color paper.
Second graders have started drawing their big fish with pattern. These will be colored in with oil pastels, cut out double, stapled together, and stuffed with newspaper.
Today fifth grade students started forming their fish out of newspaper and cardboard. They shaped the body from newspaper and masking tape. They drew the fins and tails on cardboard which I cut out with a box cutter.
