The Ocean



We learned about animals in the ocean. We watched 15 minutes of "Ocean" the Disney movie, the children loved it (especially the blanket octopus).

They each chose an animal and we played some aquatic music with dolphin and whale sounds in the background and they pretended to be in the ocean. We then made a puffer fish craft

We did math using paper cut-outs of octopus legs. We counted, added, subtracted and then made an octopus.

We read a non-fiction book about animals in the ocean and then a few fun fiction books, "Freddi Fish and the Missing Letters", "Froggy's First Kiss", and "Froggy gets Dressed".

We also learned a new silly song about sharks. They love it, you'll have to get them to sing it for you.

We also continued to work on our sight words, sounding out words, writing words, and learning to tell time (to the hour and half hour).
