Ocean/Sea Creature Week

This was a super fun week, Sea Creatures! 

Team building

Show and tell a piece of brain coral


Fine motor and name practice

Doing addition and subtraction with pearls in seashells



Cutting Shark Teeth





Once the boys finished cutting, gluing and coloring their shark hats we went outside to the “Ocean” where they had to “eat” the fishes as I called out the letters. 



Snack time, ‘fishing’


Sensory Bins filled with Sea Creatures

These were a huge hit, the boys wanted to do this over and over.  I would have them identify which sea creatures where mammals and sort them into which get their oxygen from the air or from the water.

The second day I read to them a book about coral and how it is an animal. Here is James examining the coral to see where the animal part lives.





We read a book about whales and the boys each painted and made their own whale


Sea Shell dig. This was also a hit.  The boys loved inspecting their shells and “trading” with each other.

Boat snacks

Finally we read Mr. McElligot’s Pool and they all made up their own “Crazy” fish.
