Sea Life

This week we began the unit of sea life. We started with the octopus. We reviewed the different parts of the octopus’s body - tentacles, suckers, mantle and how it regenerates if a tentacle is torn. Using pipe cleaners we made our own octopus. We continued with the dolphin. They are mammals just like the whales, which means they need to come up for air too. We remembered the term ‘breach’ and learned that it applies to dolphins as well. They communicate with one another through whistling and clicking. Next week we will learn about the home of these sea creatures and its different levels.

Y is for Yellow

We reviewed the primary colors and discovered that yellow starts with the letter ’Y’. We each came up with something that is yellow and created a web out of it. The sun, taxi, school bus, corn, lemonade, were a few of the yellow items we named. We reviewed the concept of similarities and differences. All the above mentioned items have one similarity—they’re all yellow. In the morning we are learning about sea life, after dancing to the famous ‘Yellow Submarine’ song we decorated our very own Yellow submarine! We are so excited we have one more letter to the end of the alphabet!!
