Welcome to our study of the five oceans and Australia. We are featuring the Great Barrier Reef which gives so much aquatic life around the continent of Australia and so much joy to the people who have seen and swam around the coral reef. We also learned that coral are animals, not plants.

Giving our students the opportunity to color and cut out aquatic animals has blossomed this plain wall into a colorful representation of the Great Barrier Reef.

Learning about shells coming out of the oceans. We noticed the spiral shapes that many shells take.

We had a lovely and festive Valentines Day celebration decorating cookies, playing games and making little valentines for each other.
