Touch Tank

We loved having the Niagara Aquarium come to school to bring the Touch Tank. The children had a wonderful time learning about interesting creatures and then holding them! Here are some pictures of our new little friends.

 Getting ready to hold some creatures!

 The lobster!

 Passing the mussel (I love the care they took with the animals!)

 I just love watching them as they check everything out!

 Passing the clam shell.

 The sea urchin looked more sharp than it was. It felt like a tooth brush!

 If you tickled the Horseshoe crab, his legs kicked!

 I would love to know what he is thinking!

Touching the snails "foot".

Observation

Last week I brought my camera in to class. As I was observing, I quickly walked around to take pictures of what the children were working on. Here is what I saw in a quick walk through!

"J" is sorting animals environments by land, water and air.

The "Rainbow Room is now a place to climb and slide.

Mrs. Bromley is reading with "A".

Stories were popular! Miss Kristen is reading to "N" and "D".

"T" chose to work with blocks on a rug.

"K" is working with the Metal Insets.

"Z" is pouring pretty pink water!

"B" is making a valentine

"B" is using alphabet cookie cutters with playdough.

"E" and "E" are also making cards.
