Ocean Life

We enjoyed neighborhood time.
This is when we visit the classroom next door and
they visit our classroom.  They can mingle together as well.






This was the end result of our sink and float
ocean experiment.  It was a mixture of oil, water,
shaving cream, and sand.  We dropped small items
into the mix to see if it would sink or float. 
We also talked about density.




This friend said, "Look! I made a TV!"
They traced and cut out their hands to make fish. 
Then, they snipped green paper for the seaweed.







Easy fine motor practice with play-dough.
Sight word and letter practice





Sharing letter E items.








Counting to 18 with ten-frames.
Practice beginning letter sounds.
This was a rhyming word game.
I would lay down a coin with a picture and they
would have to figure if that picture rhymed with their picture.
Pirate ship letter hunt.
They would flip over a letter card and
find the matching letter on their paper.
Then, they would dot it.

Painting ocean animals.  It may look like
just blobs of paint, but ask them what ocean
animal they painted.  Most painted Great White Sharks
and "Puffer" fish.
Letter E booklet

Reading a simple reader about the beach.
This story contains previous sight words.
Creating fish from random shapes.



Color word recognition.





Exercise and counting.





This was a multi-step activity.
Cut out eight legs for the octopus.
Label each leg with a number.
Dot mark 1-8 for each leg.
(I know a few did not turn out as expected.)


Sight word practice.
Read it, write it, build it.












Do you ever feel like this? 😂 I do, too.

Our visit with the orthodontist. 

Happy Graduation Parade!
