Under The Sea

During the "Under the Sea" week, children made many crafts related to sea animals.  Along with making the cute activities, the children also learned many facts about each of the sea animals. For instance, sea turtles lay their eggs in the sand.  Jellyfish bites sting.  Male seahorses are the ones who have the babies.  Not only are children getting fine motor practice with colouring and cutting but they are building their schema (prior knowledge) to aid in reading comprehension.
