Life in An Ocean

Last week, we did a quick study of the ocean.  It was a crazy week with the 50th day of school and Veteran’s day!  I tried to squeeze in some activities in the three “normal” days that we had!  Here are some of the activities that we did:


We read many fiction and non-fiction ocean and fish books.

 

The inspiration for this thinking map and the graph above was from one of Kim Jordano's sessions at the saw at the I Teach K conference in Vegas.

(I made the describing map blank and just put the cards on velcro so that I could use it for other things!)

This project was super fun – just a simple crayon resist – we used oil pastels instead of crayons though.  I love how the colors turned out so bright an vivid!

These centers are from Lakeshore Learning – it is a three in one center kit.  I won it at the National Kindergarten Conference this summer!

I put these masks (I have a few more) in the dramatic play center.  They are so simple, but the kids think they are really fun! I’m can’t remember where I found them though!
