Kindergarten- Fish Bowl

We began this lesson by reading The Copycat Fish. We then discuss how there is good copying (doing the same thing as someone else because you like it) and bad copying (mimicking).
We then set to work. We draw the fish bowl first then add a rock/sand line for the bottom of the bowl and a water line at the top. The book discusses how Rainbow Fish and his friends have to put together a garden so we include things that might be in a water garden such as plants, rocks, shells, castles. Lastly, students add in fish.
We color everything but the water with crayon. Then we cut out our picture and glue it to another color paper. Lastly, we paint the water and we can paint other details on our background paper if we have time.
