Oceans of Fun

The children in pre-k have been engaged in 
an inquiry unit on the ocean.
Our children's aquatic museum has been busy everyday.
There are many activities to do!
 Create fish patterns, 
color sea animals, 
play in a sensory tub filled with sea creatures,
'
Explore shells and sort them by similar type.
and enjoy reading books about the ocean.
The finger gym is loaded with teeny tiny shells to 
pick-up and then count and add to our star fish number cards.
One day we did observational seashell drawings using our keen sense of sight and we drew like scientists.
We have lots of fun creating with playdough and shells 
making fossil impressions and pretend oceans.
Using storytelling props helps us in becoming 
stronger at retelling our read aloud stories.
Making ocean dioramas was lots of fun too!
Hunting for ABC seashells in the sand is super awesome!
The white beach sand felt very different 
than the coarse brown sand.
Fishing for ABC's helps us to practice our 
letter identification skills.
Practicing printing letters in an ocean-themed writing tray makes it so much more exciting than using regular writing tools.
Amidst all of this fun, we have learned 
many facts about the ocean too!
