 Shark Shenanigans

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.
