 Shark Shenanigans



Monday

On Monday after getting to know one another and learning the rules, our shark enthusiasts learned all about the basic anatomy of a shark and designed what their favorite or make believe sharks would look like on paper. After snack the kids learned about the Blue Shark and used recycled materials and art supplies to bring their shark designs to life. After lunch we went to the beach to swim and explore.

After snack we sculpted our own clay sharks and talked about our theme of the day.... Monsters of the deep! We learned about the Goblin Shark, the Greenland Shark, and the Cookie Cutter Shark. After lunch we went back down to the beach, where the kids found all sorts of hermit crabs and green crabs.
