The Rainbow Fish

One of my all time favourite book is, The Rainbow Fish, by Marcus Pfister. I remember listening to this book being read to me by my school's librarian when I was a little girl! So, I obviously had to share it with my class in the beginning of the school year. I also took this opportunity to dress-up as the Rainbow Fish! 

 

For art, we created a school of fish. We took bubble wrap and painted on fish scales. 


We also had a sensory station and explored the deep blue sea for exotic things! "I feel something prickly..."


At the end of the school day, I shared my scales with each student, just like in the book! They loved it!

The Perfect Square


We've been learning about shapes in class and read the book, Perfect Square, by Michael Hall. Afterwards, the children became creative cats in the making of their mathematical art masterpiece from a perfect square. Look at all of the shapes that they used!
