Ocean Habitat
California counted out 26 seashells and placed them on a blue tie dyed silkie. A notecard with the word "fish" was placed near the area of the ocean habitat where California had put some sharks. We used a small house fern for seaweed.
We discussed the fact that there were 26 sea shells in our ocean and 26 letters in the alphabet. California used his fish notecard to spell the word "fish" on the fridge with magnets.
We also learned a new vocabulary word: fragile. California knows that the shells in our ocean are fragile and that means they are easily broken and he needs to be careful when he handles them.
This will be an ever expanding project as we learn more and more about ocean habitats.
