"Under the Sea" Painting!

This week, we launched our "Under the Sea" summer theme for Green Room. As we look forward to the hot days of summer, we are so excited to bring the ocean into our classroom.



This week, our activities were around painting. Teacher Lesley brought pasta shells so that the kids could paint on and with some "shells"! The jumbo pasta shells were the perfect size for little hands and the kids loved holding them and painting with them.





















We also did some more easel painting outside, which is always a fun change-up for the kids!
















Then, we brought in sea sponges so that the kids could paint with those. The soft, porous sponges were fun for the kids to hold. The effect of the sponges dipped in paint created a unique look on the paper.



























This eventually evolved into more painting with pasta shells!










Stay tuned for more "Under the Sea" adventures in Green Room!

Love,
Teacher Katie
