Ocean Animal Fun

The month of May kind of got away from me.  It was all kinds of crazy busy and on top of it all, I got pneumonia.  As a result, I have neglected my little blog.  

 We spent the last two weeks of school learning about ocean animals.

We did some informational writing:

 

Fractional parts of a set:

 

 and wrote some cinquain poems:

Is it summer yet???????

Oh. My. Word. What a busy month this has been.  Three. More. Days.  I can do this! 

 We finished up the year learning about sea animals.    I made a sea animal fact book and we focused on one animal a day.  I made two different covers - one for boys and one for girls. 

Here is peak into the crab pages:

 Sea Anemone pages:

 We made sea anemones with paper towel rolls (cut down) and tissue paper but I forgot to take a picture. 

I will putting this in my TpT and TN stores at some point.

I am envious of you teachers who are already on break.  I am in need of a couple of weeks of down time, sleeping in, reading a book, and NOTHING to do with school.  :-)

Goldfish Cracker Graphing/Math Freebie

Here is a graphing freebie I will be doing with my class when we start our ocean animal study.  It also includes:
       1.  comparing number practice with >, <, and = 
       2.  addition practice

First, you need to get some of these:

Divide them into snack baggies for each child in your classroom.  Do not put more than 6 of any particular color because the graph only goes to 6.

Then snag yourself a copy of this recording sheet by clicking on the picture below.

  I made this Sea Animal Fun Pack with 5 math and 5 literacy centers to go along with our ocean animal study.  It will be available in my TpT store and TN store.

I tried to get all my ocean animal science stuff together to go in this packet as well but can't seem to find the time to get it done.  I will add that as a separate pack you can purchase later, but it may even be summer before it gets done.
