Upstream Salmon (1st Grade)

In 1st grade we've been talking a lot about overlap and space.  In the Upstream Salmon project, students were encourage to overlap some of their fish and make some small and some big to show space.  First, we drew our salmon in black oil pastel.  Then we used white and gold paint to add accents to the fish. Next, we painted white squishy swirly marks on blue paper for water.  Last, we cut out the salmon and glued them onto the blue water background.
