Oxbow students learned about the unique ecosystem of a coral reef. They were invited to investigate teacher Mr. Dobrin's saltwater coral reef. We also passed around my collection of real seahorses, starfish, coral and shells. Finally, Mrs. Paris brought in her two hermit crabs to show several classes which were truly a hit - very exciting! Weeks one and two students colored and painted their sea creatures, seaweed and coral. Week three they created a focal point with either a fish, seahorse or other creature. Kindergartners learned about Rainbow Fish and how he was a good friend to others, then created their own Rainbow Fish in rainbow colors. Upper el used tissue paper to create a layered effect using a thin mixture of Elmer's glue, hot water, and criss-crossed tissue paper to create a seahorse, dolphin or other creature. Nice job!
