Under the Sea

With it really heating up outside, we decided it was time to take a trip to the ocean!  While it would have been wonderful to actually be at the beach, we had a great time here at the school learning about it!  The children did so many fun activities this week- take a look!


An octupus!



Their very own ocean!

The children also compared lake water (tap water) to ocean water (salt water).  They discovered that they definitely taste different!

 Our letter this week was "o".  Some of the classes did "o is for owl" while others did "o is for octopus"!

For our cooking project, the children made "Beach in a Cup".  It's made from Nilla Waffers (sand) and Blue Jello (ocean).  They crushed up the nilla waffers and mixed up the blue jello.  Then they carefully layered it to make it look like the beach! 

Such a fun week!  Now....if we were just at the beach....
