Did you hear about our field trip? We went to the Monterrey Bay Aquarium in California. The Aquarium's webcams allowed us to watch sharks and fish get fed. A scuba diver entered the water and fed the animals by hand! There were other divers cleaning the rocks and caring for the kelp as well.
This week we are on our second week studying the Ocean. The class stopped at centers that included searching the sand for treasure sentences, exploring the oceans in Google Earth, reading and sorting word families, and counting fish in an aquarium. But the highlight was touching the Octopi. Miss Naumann brought in three mini and one bigger octopus. Ask one of us about: How did it feel? What was on the tentacles? What is on the bottom? How did it smell?
The wonders of the digital age make the work of God's hands even more evident and amazing as we can "fly" to another culture and explore it's creatures in a matter of seconds. Watch the cuttlefish camouflage or a dolphin jump. Marvelous deeds!
