How will we use our fine motor skills today?
Today, we are going to create lacing cards using fish cutouts? Does that sound like fun? Who likes fish?
Yes, that sounds fun!
Me, I like fish. I like to eat fish sticks.
That sounds yummy, but we’re not going to eat fish. Instead, we’re going to use them in our activity. Ok?
Ok!
What do we need
Today, we are going to create fish lacing cards.
To create them, we are going to use fish cutouts, a piece of yarn, and crayons to decorate them at the end.
Modeling
Creating the card:
All the materials are laid out on the table. First, you are going to grab a paper fish cutout. Next, you are going to take a long piece of yarn, and loop it through the holes that outline the fish. The holes have already been punched for you. Starting from the top, loop the yarn in and out of each hole. Go in one hole and come back through the next. Once you’ve looped all of your holes, take both ends of the yarn and tie them together. After that, you can use the crayons to color and decorate the fish however you would like. Use your creativity and give the fish a name. Write your name on the back. Finally, take the fish and tape it to the poster.
Checking for Understanding
Everyone let’s practice our looping. Using both hands, let’s pretend that we are looping through the holes.

I can do it! Look, I’m doing
Practice the traditional dot-style of boomerang art and make the shape of an animal on the boomerang.
looking at my project I was hoping for better but my talent isn’t as great as hers, so I tried my best with color scheme and “flair” to help out my lack of ability with the design itself the octopus.
My Bachelor’s in Exercise Science has equipped knowledge of the human anatomy and physiology, and exercise testing and prescription for people of different ages and health conditions. During my attendance at the University of Texas at Arlington, I joined the Little Mavs Movement Academy directed by Dr. Priscilla Cacola. I volunteered for a year in this program; while in the program I had the opportunity to learn about developmental coordination disorder (DCD) and how it interferes with activities of daily living and learning of
Presentation: How will the teacher present the experience? The teacher would have to give instructions and help the children color the marshmallow and sort them according to their size. Then after several attempts the teacher will become part of the group
I made my boat out of foam core. It was left over from a yard sale that we had at my house about a year ago. I made a pattern of the sides and top of the boat out of paper first. After I did that I took and cut those shapes out of foam core so the ship resembled the one on the cover of the book. I had the top, the bottom, the sides, the back, and the boxes that go on top all cut out so I put them together using both tape and my mom’s hot glue gun. I even made a rudder for the bottom of the boat out of foam from
5. Get 12 of the pipe cleaners that are 10 centimeters in length, and place 3 one each side. If you’re going for the Santaluces look, alternate between colors. For instance, blue, white, red, and start that scheming of colors over. Then tape them to stay in place.
I have changed my mind and am now making three dream catchers; one will be white with a lace dolly in its center and white feathers and ribbon. The second will be mainly yellow and will have some pink beads and feathers. The third will be mainly blue and will have some pink beads and feathers. I have nearly worked out most of my costing and will be buying my materials in the next week.
The first piece, “A Choppy Estuary,” created by Hulk Abraham, was created with the use of wet media, this one being painted with oil paints. The picture consists of four ships, clouds, and some people on nearby land. It uses various colors, with major focus on various reds and blues, to place emphasis on the ship on the front right of the piece.
In the second part we used graph paper,
For my Original Project that I am planning on redoing is an acrylic painting that I did back in 8th grade as a creative response for the book stargirl. It was a bulky flower with four word on the petals.
Once upon a time, there were three little clown fish that lived under the sea in an exciting community near their friends. All of the fish decided what to make their homes out of; coral, rocks, and an anemone. It was late in the day when two of the clown fish had already finished setting up their house. They were taunting their sibling since he was still cleaning out his anemone. After they were done taunting because he wasn't paying attention, they started to sing while swimming back to their own neighborhood. Little did they know, The Big Bad Fish was swimming after them. The clownfish noticed and swam away as fast as they could, screaming. It was an ocean chase when the two siblings finally got back to their houses. They both were hiding

1. I sketch out the Lionfish first on tracing paper. I have a few reference photos of lionfish, however none of them has a perfect form of their fins. After I select one which has a good body shape, I alter the imperfect fin shapes. Once I finalize the shapes of the fins, I draw the details of stripes on the body and fins. I also pay close attention to fin rays and specks. When I finish working on the lionfish, I draw the outline of the dome-shaped brain coral and a few lines across the
