The Giraffes had fun finishing their ocean unit! We learned about whales, sea turtles, sea shells and crabs! Check out our activities!

The students learned that whales have to come up out of the ocean
to breathe. They learned that whales breathe through blowholes 
in on the top of their head and they spout water out to get rid 
of bad air. We painted our own 3D whales!


We were very excited to watch a video of baby 
sea turtles hatching and making their way to 
the ocean! Sea turtles can hold their breath in 
the water for about thirty minutes. 
We made our own Sea turtles!





 Sea shells make great homes for small 
ocean creatures! There are so many types of 
Sea shells! We graphed the sea shells 
and counted how many of each kind we 
could find.






We made sea shell imprints using play dough! 
The different sea shells made different patterns in the
play dough.




During free play on Wednesday the students
decided that they all wanted to play doctor!
Ms. Dana was well cared for! 




 Friends wanted to help me sweep!
 I have such sweet helpers!


We learned that crabs have ten legs!
We made crabs using circles and triangles.


See you next week!
