Say what?
Okay, so you have to realize that we live in a rural area and people are very into hunting and fishing. Seriously. I mean very seriously into hunting and fishing.
So where did this project come from?
For some reason I was just sitting and thinking about what first grade could make with clay. I decided on a fish. I googled fish and Big Mouth Billy Bass popped up on my screen. I thought, THAT IS IT!

Directions:
I gave the kids a small slab.
They cut a fish of their choice.
They used simple tools to make designs in the fish.
About an hour after they left, I attached the fish to a slab. Then, I put paper towels under each side of the fish so the sides of the fish would prop up, like a real mounted fish.
Later, I carved their name and date on the fish.
I fired.
They painted.
I painted over where I had carved their name and date on the fish.
Here is a look at the process.
What else would I end with?
1965
