Today, Scientist Stan came into our classroom and extended our current learning of the ocean. Our students were able to see real-life ocean animal fossils. They also learned how the sun feeds plankton (which in turns feeds other animals and gives energy to the food chain). The scientist helped us created coral reefs - which you will get to take home at Open House. Also the students learned that sharks have rows and rows of teeth and lose them very easily. They were able to dig through some ocean floor sand and pick out shark teeth of their own. The loved getting to experiment and become little scientist themselves today. A HUGE thank you to our awesome PTA for sponsoring such a wonderful learning event!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Monk
