Operation Puffer fish

Dusty has been learning about different animals and the habitats in which animals live in, and to help the students fully understand the vast amount of animal life on this great planet of ours each child was to select an animal from a group the teacher had put together… that’s how operation puffer fish came about!

So, we started her “research” project on puffer fish on Tuesday, but like most 6 year olds, they don’t really have the attention span to sit and RESEARCH for to long.  We did little by little, and eventually we had come up with 2 sentences that A. would summarize up what a puffer fish was, and B. where they lived! (we are thinking 5-6 year old here people).   The teacher left the project aspect of the assignment up to “as complicated the parent wanted it to be”… so we chose to create a puffer fish vs. making a huge poster board full of info on the things.

and since there are over 120 species of puffer fish… so we chose to make a “black spotted puffer fish” (hence the black spots)

Dusty was so excited to cut, and glue, and well create- I love this kids imagination!!

I hope her teacher enjoys all of Dusty’s hard work!  (she also got her hair cut!- she looks so cute)
