 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.








Tuesday

Tuesday was another fun shark filled day! We spent our morning learning all about the 7 categories of the endangered species list and we learned about the lemon shark. 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.

Wednesday

Did you know sharks have up to 7 senses??? The kids learned about the unique abilities sharks have to sense their pray. Afterward the campers painted their clay sculptures and had snack. Once snack was over, we went into our theme of the day...DEADLIEST SHARKS!!! The kids learned about the Bull Shark, the Tiger Shark, and the infamous Great White Shark. After lunch we walked down to the beach for another beautiful day on the water. 















Thursday

Thursday's theme was vegetarian sharks. We opened up the day learning about the Megamouth Shark, the Basking Shark, and the Whale Shark. After snack the kids made a shark mural featuring all the sharks we had learned about so far. We then learned about the Mako A.K.A the fastest shark on earth. It was too hot to walk to the beach today so after lunch we had a dance party and played with water balloons!
