Together we read Leo Lionni’s book, Swimmy, about a fish who organizes his school of fish into a larger shape to scare away the large predator fish. We discussed primary colors as students drew, then cut, their own fish shapes, and experimented with careful gluing. This process led them to discover how tissue paper primary colors can mix into secondary colors when they become translucent with glue. These are their colorful collages becoming a big class fish!
