Hit the beach!

To wrap up the end of the school year, we had a beach party!  The students had so much fun with our end of the year beach theme!  I brought in beach towels, beach bags, and even an inflatable pool for the kids to use.  This theme also went with our theme for graduation, the ocean.  We read books about the beach, going to beach, animals found at the beach and in the ocean.  The students also created some awesome beach and ocean themed projects.  Here are a few pictures!



Sunset on the beach pictures.  The students painted with red, yellow, and orange paint and glued black cut out pictures of ocean animals to their picture.  I love how this project came out!

A day at the beach picture.  The students were given different colors of blue paint.  Once the paint was dried, they brushed glue on the bottom of the paper and sprinkled sand to make a beach.  They finally added foam stickers of ocean animals to their project.  With both projects, we talked about day and night, we see the sun during the day and the moon at night, and warm/cool colors.
