"Q" Ocean Animals




Letter Q is a fun letter trace and write. We colored a Queen puppet and talked about how quilts are made with different pieces of material. We made a tiny quilt with paper, by tracing our names on squares of paper. We then passed out out one of our names to each classmate. Last but not least we glued each name to eachother to form a small quilt-like craft. This helped the children, think about how to position each piece and how to glue which side. A great thought excise.

Watching a part of "Finding Nemo" to see all the different types of Ocean life, we then made our own aquarium to take home. We drew (I did a lot of the drawing for them) plants and rocks found in the ocean, then painted over the crayon drawings. After it had dried, we glued on cut outs of the Ocean animals we saw in the movie.

For snack we had tuna fish sandwiches. A favorite for some, not so much for others.
