Oceans

We had a wonderful week exploring oceans and the letter "O" The children did an amazing job with their ocean reports and they were so proud to share what they had learned with their friends. These projects are hanging in the hallway next to our classroom and I encourage you to take a look. We also used ocean stamps on our Jumbo O, made fun and squishy ocean bags, and had plenty of ocean books to read during the week. We could have spent two more weeks on this topic!

sea shells in the sensory table; added magnifying glasses so that we could take a closer look at these beautiful objects

our classroom door; they colored and cut out ocean creature to glue on to our door ocean-scape

I placed a basket of sea shells and starfish along with a book about sea shells  on a table and an invitation to explore, draw, trace, etc

We talked quite a bit about the fascinating features of an octopus. On this table there was a large assortment of objects and they went about sorting these objects in to groups of eight, just like the number of arms on our octopus friends. This was a busy place!
