Caroline:	No.
Josephine:	A princess tower?
Caroline:	No.
Forest:	We could make her a parachute!
Caroline:	No.
Nathaniel:	I think a rainbow fish!
Caroline:	No.  I really want a Coral Castle.
T:	What is that?
Caroline:	Basically, it is a castle that has coral and it is a mermaid!  She is from Paw Patrol.
Daniel:	I basically know that!
Caroline:	She lives in the ocean and has a giant clam in her house!
Forest:	I’ve watched it before.  I remember all of the Paw Patrol names!
T:	Let’s find out some details about what Caroline wants on her castle.
Caroline:	I want gems!  I definitely know I want glitter!
Forest:	We could put on guards to guard the castle!

Work in progress:

 

While drawing their sketches, committee members share their prior knowledge of Paw Patrol characters.

Forest compares the shape of the bowl to the dome on Coral's castle.

Committee members work together to paint the components of the castle.

Nathaniel finds out how many cups can fit on the top of the castle, and points out that it looks "great" placed on all four corners!

After researching how to make teal paint, Josephine helps to add 2 parts blue.

Forest adds 1 part yellow and begins to mix, delighted that it begins to turn the perfect shade!

Forest watches as Nathaniel paints the platform purple, commenting "you are doing a great job!"

Daniel and Forest use their fine motor skills to carefully paint the purple striped detail to the top of the dome.

Committee members finalize their selections of the shell that will top the castle, and ask Caroline to vote for her favorite.

Josephine uses her fine motor control to cut the clamshell shape.

Nathaniel recognizes each letter as he adds the name of the castle to the clamshell.
