My love of Eric Carle has spilled over into the latest Kindergarten lesson. Each week I use a letter of the alphabet as the inspiration for the lesson and we are on the letter S. This time we did "S is for Seahorse" and read the book Mister Seahorse. This lesson took two weeks because we painted the papers that we are going to use. Week 1 each student picked a color from the neon paints I found and painted a paper and added a bit of texture. Week 2 each student used a tracing shape that I had made using card stock to trace the shape of a seahorse and cut it out. I was much more concerned with their tracing and cutting skills so I gave them the tracing shapes. After they cut out their seahorses and put the scraps in the recycling bin they came to me and added a googly eye and I put their names on the back with a label written in their teacher specific color. They turned out so cute and make for a very fun bulletin board!
