This is the completed bulletin board for Lindsey Deslairiers and I's lesson plan, The rainbow fish collage. We wanted a board that stood out and was colorful like the bottom of a tropical ocean. We used tissue paper and construction paper to create the under water look of the bulletin board. We stapled the students finished products to the board.
This is an example of the fish that we had the students create. Our topic was collages. We started by reading the students the book, "The Rainbow Fish" by Marcus Pfister. We then reviewed what primary and secondary colors where. The students first started out by drawing a fish of their choice and cutting it out. The students then picked out the colors they wished to use. In my fish I used green, purple, and blue. I chose these colors because it reminded me of the fish in the book we read. Once the students picked out the colors they wished to use, they would rip the paper into shapes then glue them down to fill the entire fish in, leaving no white spaces. Once the entire fish was filled in, the students could add beads, glitter, tin foil, etc to add to the fish and create a look of fish scales.
Extension Activity: I would extend this activity by teaching the students more about the different tropical fish. This could be integrated into a science lesson. The students could pick a fish and research it. The students could give presentations on the fish they chose.
