May 12th - 15th, 2025: Ocean Life! (Week 1)

Happy Friday, Firefly Families!

This week we focused on the ocean and the animals that live in it. We read the books Ocean Animals for KidsNat Geo for Kids: Sea Turtles, Nat Geo for Kids: Sharks, and Pout Pout Fish and we watched many ocean animal videos to learn more about life in the ocean. We made our reading arch into the ocean with lots of animals, seaweed & sand, made sand dough with shells & sea glass, made a shark face & sea turtles, responded to the journal entry, "My favorite thing about the ocean is...", patterned with shells and sea glass, went on an ocean animal hunt around the LECC and worked on numbers in our HWT book. 

Reminders:

*FIELD DAY! Thursday, May 22nd (afternoon session). We are Team RED so please have your child wear RED to help represent our team!
