Pastels and Watercolors

We had a fun gym session of freeze dancing today. We listened to our favorite songs including, the PEACE song, Baby Shark, and others to practice different dancing moves safely around the gym. We also worked with oil pastels for the first time and after talking about our experience during swimming, we used the pastels to draw ourselves swimming on water color paper. At centers, we did a wash of blue watercolor paint to color the water. They turned out beautiful and we cannot wait to share them with our families soon. We also had centers where some of us used the painting centre, ice cream centre, and had snack.
