Big Books and the Sea

"The people on the bus go up and down" - a dramatic reading.
We pulled out the big books last week and got to read them.  It's so much fun to watch them read because they are actually reading much of the text!

 Observing shells with eyes, ears, and hands, and then recording some observations.

 ocean puzzle (48 pieces) - good team work!
