Check out our Ocean Unit Projects!

We have had a great time learning about the ocean! We learned that the ocean has 3 zones, the midnight zone, the twilight zone, and the sunlight zone. 

We then learned about animals that live in each zone. We made angler fish for the midnight zone, jellyfish for the twilight zone, and you helped your children make tropical fish for the sunlight zone.  Our completed mural will be on display for our art show on April 15.

We learned how to tell if an ocean animal is a fish or not, fish live in the water, they breath using gills, and they have fins. They were excited to learn that a shark is a fish but crawfish and starfish are not fish.

We are going to wrap up the unit with a surprise ocean themed snack on Friday.
