Monday Fish!

After two weeks of visiting family and getting back to our schedule, I'm ready to get on a roll again! We are doing an Under the Sea/Aquarium theme this week.

We did Fish on Monday! My camera battery is currently dead and I, for some reason, can not find my charger. So, for now there will be no pictures. :( I kow I'm very sad too.

We started the day with the boys playing outside in the water. It has been getting really hot here so I make them go outside early before it's unbearable. They had pancakes and applesauce for brunch. I tried to get Teagan to take a nap and he refused so we started our theme.

I read to them About Fish: A Guide for Children by Cathryn Sill, Amazing Fish by Mary Ling, and Fish, Swish! Splash, Dash! by Suse Macdonald
While I was reading, they decorated their own Fish! I let them each choose which color of foam they wanted to use and then cut a fish out. I also let them choose the color of the fins. We glued the foam fish and fins to plain construction paper. They glued a bunch of random craft supplies to their fish (pompoms, confetti, google eyes, etc.) I also gave them some shells from when we went to the lake to decorate the paper to represent where a fish lives. They both did a great job!
