What types of animals did you see? Did all of the animals look the same or were they different? April 3, 2011:

We will be going on an imaginary journey into the ocean using our five senses. Afterwards, you will get the chance to create your very own story describing your adventure!

April 4, 2011:

We will be reading Wish for a Fish: All About Sea Creatures as a class. We will then create a shoebox display of the ocean! You can include waves, sea animals, or any object that represents life under the sea to create a visual for others to see.

April 5, 2011:

We will be doing a science project to learn about buoyancy. We will be placing different objects in a bucket of water to see which ones float and which ones sink. Click play on the player below and Mrs. Swimmer the fish will tell you a little bit about buoyancy. media type="custom" key="9198424" align="center"
