What do you do for your ocean unit?

Oceans
We are learning about habitats this week and yesterday we made our ocean bulletin board and wrote about ocean animals. We are also making an Animal Groups and Animal Habitats book to go along with our study where we are writing about the different attributes of animals groups and habitats. We had a lot of fun creating our ocean bulletin board. There was tons of student creativity and it came out great.
I was so impressed by their originality. I had patterns for about six different sea animals but, my very creative and independent class decided that they each wanted to make their own animals. So, with sea animal books and kids all over the floor and tables in the classroom, they went to work and created an ocean masterpiece! We even have a sea snake (I have one student who ONLY draws snakes).

I just LOVE how this looks - you can tell how much the children enjoyed making it their own. Thank you for sharing it!
ReplyDeleteThanks. I was so impressed with the kiddos. Their own creativity was much better than my "patterns".
DeleteLove the bulletin board. Your kiddos did an awesome job of creating their own sea animals.

They sure did! Thanks for leaving your comment.
DeleteLove that bulletin board! The colors are fantastic!
ReplyDeleteMy class studies the OCEAN and we break it into the different zones and categorize in that way. We spend more time in the Sunlight Zone, obviously, but if you check out some of my past posts you'll see a few of my ideas. Like this one: http://www.cotesclass.blogspot.com/2012/04/friday-science-shark-skin.html
We explored the texture of a shark's skin in science time.
SO MUCH FUN!
