In preparation for our field trip to the beach, Mrs. Cultum read, Sea Crow, by Vancouver writer Shannon Stewart. It shows the unique way one girl confronts her fears by building a Sea Crow at the beach using driftwood and other treasures. “If you tell her what frightens you,” says Jessica, “She’ll make you feel better.” After hearing the story, children drew a picture of their sea crow and wrote down their worries.
On Friday at Spanish Banks, the children worked independently or in groups to create a sea crow and then whispered their worries away. Here are some of their beautiful creations.
If the weather is nice, take a stroll to Spanish Banks West. It's likely that the creations will be there for weeks to come.
