I forgot to take after pictures of this one. We have been working on simple patterns lately and our new May theme of water afforded the opportunity to make pattern fish! I gave the students two colors of paint, showed them a few patterns, and said "Now, can you make a pattern?" Almost all of them did really well. Even when the pattern wasn't clear on the plate they were painting, it was clear to me that they were doing one stroke in color A, then switching to one stroke in color B. After the paint dried, I cut out the white parts of the plate. The students added a side fin and a tail fin and we hung them up in the hallway from the ceiling. My neighbor and I are aiming to create a school of fish going down our hallway.
