e. Make sea paintings,
using powdered tempera
paint, sand and diluted
glue. Clean the sand
and mix with paint
powder (not too much).
Keep the colored sand in
baby-food jars. Spread
glue on paper with a
paintbrush and sprinkle
sand over the wet glue.
Students can make
original designs or use
ones that have been
mimeographed. Frame
and hang these. (Suggested
by Kathy Amerman,
Maureen Coon,

Trani, Baranof Elementary

f. Make a “sea letter mural
. " Attach a long
piece of paper to the
wall. Have students
use a black marker or
crayon to outline a sea
plant or animal; then
color the drawings and
label with the first letter
of their creatures’
names. When finished,
students should notify
the teacher so that the
animals’ full names can
be added.
g. Make crabs out of construction
paper circles
folded in half. (Suggested
by Joanne Rogers,
Paul Banks Elementary,

4. As a finale, have an underwater
circus. Ask students
to each pick an animal to
train and show off. Make sea
animal hand puppets out of
paper bags, with features cut
out of construction paper and
glued on. Have students plan
appropriate puppet acts.
Practice and then do a program
for parents and other
classes. (Suggested by
Joanne Rogers, Paul Banks
