Finch discovers why he can't swim in this clever story by Elizabeth Fox that explains to children how different animals and plants have varying external features that allow them to survive in their environments. Through an art project, students create their own portraits of various species thriving in an environment, all the while learning about primary and secondary colors, line, shape/form and texture.
Students in Sandra Posey's EWS 411: Education, Diversity and the Arts course created storytelling-based lesson plans which integrate multidisciplinary standards. These lesson plans were then implemented at the Boys and Girl's Club of Pomona Valley as a service-learning project. This lesson plan, by Elizabeth Fox, addresses California science and arts standards for first grade with an adaptation provided for Kindergarten.
