Fun Friday came the day after Monday this week since we missed the first three days of school due to snow. Since I had planned to do a coral reef creature each day, Monday through Thursday, it worked out well to do them all on Friday, for fun! I do believe they turned out spectacularly and the kids had....FUN! They got to paint. I almost never get out paint...too messy. We had to wash out one shirt and I was still trying to get it off of my hands today! Here they are with some of the fun facts they learned.  |
| Sea Horses Did you know they are really fish, they have no stomach and the dads have the babies? |
 |
| Sea Stars aka Star Fish Did you know they really are not fish and that they make their stomach come out of their mouth to eat their food? |
 |
| Crabs Did you know they are 10 legged creatures that walk sideways and have an exoskeleton? |
 |
| Clown Fish Did you know that scientists think that the reason they can live in the sea anemone and not get stung is because they are covered with a mucus? What is mucus? Oh, well, like boogers..... Hey. You have to put it into terms that they understand! |
And here is a panorama of the whole thing. Come and see it in person. Really. Well, if the next storm doesn't come.
I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!! Prettiest bulletin board I have ever seen!!! So bright and colorful. I love everything about coral reefs. I know the kids must love it. What a fun happy room! :) They are very very lucky.
ReplyDeleteIt is beautiful! I think my favorite is the crab, what a neat idea. I bet the kids loved the ship with them on it. You have the greatest ideas. I can't wait to see the amazing things your mind comes up with to do, after you retire. Your class is incredibly blessed!!!!
