Under The Sea!

For our last unit of the year have been learning about life under the sea and having some fun along the way! 




We researched about many ocean animals. We know a lot about Blue Whales. 






We had fun making origami whales. 



We read the story Sand to learn exactly where sand comes from. 

Then we made our own sand! 


 We had fun making sand pictures. 



We reviewed our letter sounds.

"In my bucket, in my bucket,
That I carry to the beach,
I'll bring a towel, and  a t-shirt
and a tomato that I can eat." 

We had a great time fishing for rhymes. 
"A- fishing we will go."
"A -fishing we will go."
We'll catch a whale
And put it in a pail
And then we'll let it go. 

The children came up with some funny rhymes. 

We learned about sharks. 




We reviewed our sight words by playing beach ball zig-zag.  "What color will Mrs. Moss call out?"

Of course, we made fish...

 and crabs that we punched out. 

 We designed our own fish and wrote descriptive sentences about them.  Can you find ______'s fish? 

We even designed our own bathing suits and listed what we would take for the beach, but I forgot to take pictures!!!!  We have been so BUSY!! 

We made clay sea creatures.



We even read about Pirates!


Do you want to be a pirate? 

Of course, we had to make pirates.
