We have been busy learning all about the river and fish.  We recently completed an art project based on a fish feelings book we read in class.  Our job was to use a pencil to draw a fish as big as our paper.  We then used the oil pastels to add color to our fish and cover all the pencil marks.  Then we recorded how our fish felt and why...
