Where do Fish live ?

Fresh water, salt water or both . Yesterday we tasted fresh water and salt water today we placed fish and learned which ones live where . I got my fish page from Bugs to bunnies book by Kenn Goin

Oceans

Pacific , Atlantic , Indian , southern ocean and Arctic Ocean . Now my group does know that blue on a map or globe is water . So today we took the globe from science center and pointed to each ocean and where they are located . Of course here in Minnesota we don't have oceans

but lots of lakes . So what the big different ? Salt water So each child tasted a cup with salt water and tap water could they tell the differences Yep!

We reading a story from Bugs to Bunnies byKenn Goin my favorite science books . Sparky Speaks.

Then we did a shark friends matching work sheet and colored it to introduce our shark friends .

Star Fish

First we painted our star fish (egg carton cut a part)

Then when dried a little we added sand and glue mixture and eyes

While waiting for them to dry so we could add sand we did a color by number sea star fish . I found over at www.1plus1plus1euals1.com . Great way to reinforce numbers and colors .

They are so ugly they are cute!

Jelly Fish

Ocean math game

Muffin tin game . Cut out numbers 1-6

shells for each one . They can count them out and put into the correct spot .

A House For Hermit Crab

So I read the story A house for Hermit crab While reading we made a list of what Hermit crab used to decorated his house . They also started to decorate Hermit crabs house while reading . I gave them color and scape's to use . Look how cute they came.

Shells in the ocean

So today we made shell necklaces . They all got to pick a shell and we took them outside and rub then on the ground and it makes a hole. We came in and decorated them just like Hermit the crab does in the story A house For Hermit Crab By Eric Carle

We talked about shells rubbing against rocks sand and other items in the ocean . What salt water and lake water does to the shell .

Swin into school

Well today we changed our bulletin board . We are doing ocean theme next few weeks and i think we will keep the fish board until school so prefect .

First i traced the children's hands . They can cut out or you . I did it while they water colored a sea theme on white paper .

Then we bubble painted . (a dish of dish soap and food coloring .) We blow bubbles with a straw and touched our fish to the bubbles . ) gives great effects .

I just added Swim into School .
