We made jellyfish....
First we read the gooey jellyfish.. lots of real pictures.
We painted bowls blue and then attached strips of
tissue paper underneath. Even though Jellyfish don't have eyes,
my students wanted eyes on their jellyfish.
My students created some of the best sentences and legible handwriting after creating their jellyfish!!
Pumpkin stamp art...
First we cut the pumpkins open and scooped out the "guts" very fun and gooey!! Then we talked about Fall and listed the Fall colors. I squirted a little Tempra paint (red, green, orange) onto a few paper plates and placed a fork into each pumpkin to be used as a handle. Then the pumpkin stamping began...it doesn't matter which way the stamps go...
When you are finished stamping you can add some brown stems using small sponges.
The next week my students made some wonderful spider webs!!
We laced the paper plate after we had paper punched it around the edges.( I pre-punched the holes in the middle with a ballpoint pen). I taped the string to the back of the plate when the web was finished! Next they painted the plate using do a dot markers. Everyone got to choose where to put their spider (pre-cut from construction paper). Finally we wrote a few sentences and drew a picture about our project.
The best thing we did was buy the memory maker pass. One photo pass was all we needed to take unlimited pictures of everyone in our party by professional photographers. The pictures were immediately viewable on our Disney experience app and we could share them on social media while we were there. We have a month to download them!
