Nature Club: February 22,23,24





This week's Nature Club was a look at sea creatures. I brought in my collection that included the following: corals, sea urchins, sand dollars, a sponge, starfish and many interesting and beautiful shells. We talked about what the animals did underwater and how they looked when they were alive. The preschoolers were extremely interested and many had shells of their own at home. Some of the kids had been or were going to Underwater World at the Mall of America and knew about the sea creatures because of that.
It was a fun class. Next week I'm going to bring some video of sea life underwater so they can see what coral and sponges really look like in the ocean. They will also get to see Ms. Pat scuba diving!

BE SURE TO SIGN UP FOR NATURE NUTS SOON!
