We’ve been together as a Five in a Row co-op for almost five years. This was one of my FAVORITE meetings ever! The kids had so much fun!
The first activity was Gyotaku (the Japanese art of making fish prints!)
The second activity was making Mock Sushi…lots more fun!
What were the older kids doing? Origami (Valentine’s Day style)
I LOVE this. It is such a fantastic way to teach the little ones. I have had 5 in a Row but only utilized it a short while. I am totally inspired.
One question. Do you read the same book to your child 5 days in a row. My kids sometimes got a little tired of that.
Thanks, Elisabeth
With Read to Me and ABC, we read the books frequently and try to read the main book multiple times throughout the week. Sometimes we don’t read it each day; I was more “strict” about that when we used FIAR. 🙂
Fish painting: What kind of paint was used? Did you flip fish over or lay paper on top? Do these smell with time?
Thanks, Victoria
We used plastic fish replicas that our local state park let us borrow, so they did not smell. We used basic acrylic paint. 🙂 Hope that helps!
