Olivia!



This week we focused on dressing up. What better way than with Olivia! The children found the book very funny, and easy to understand with Ian Falconer's incredible illustrations. Most found Olivia's sand castle building skills the funniest.


For our creative project we made Olivia paper dolls. The children cut out the Olivia shaped dolls and then "dressed them up" with red tissue paper and red markers. Ball gowns were a popular option, as well as bathing suits, and even lederhosen. 









And of course, we listened to Maria Callas during the project.
