Week 4: Under the Sea
This week I had the kids put on their scuba gear for an underwater adventure! We talked about the different types of fish you can find in the ocean like dolphins, whales, sharks and eels. We all decided that it would be so cool if we could breathe under water and play with all the different fishies (as long as they don't bite)! We also learned that lots of the fishes you find in the ocean can camouflage themselves using patterns such as stripes, spots, or splotches.
Can you find the ones in the pictures below?
The first story we read was:
Then we read our second book:
Then before we went outside to play we read our last story:
Then we went outside to play "What Time Is It Mr. Shark?" and Simon Says! Everyone got a turn so it was fun to see what all the Simon's said to do.
Then we started our craft of the week, cupcake liner fishes!

4. Use the markers to draw plants, bubbles and other sea creatures on the page.
5. Glue on the jewels where you'd like and the googly eyes on the cupcake liner fish.
6. Use the sharpie to draw a little face on your fish!
Get ready for next week as we learn about all the different things you can find in your garden!
