Fish

We spent the month of January exploring fish and creatures the live in the sea.  Our studies were topped off with special presentations today and last Friday.

We had a visit from the New England Aquarium last week.  Presenter, Sam, shared some of the creatures we might find if we visited a tide pool at a beach.  We learned about and touched crabs, sea stars, horseshoe crabs, mussels, clams and oysters of the bi-valve family and snails. Before we touched the animals, we need to put on our imagination hats and get to the beach!












The water was cold, but the touching was COOL!
Today, Mr. Musselman of the Burlington Science Center shared the presentation, "Super Fish".  He spoke about penguins, bi-valves, exoskeleton tide pool animals, fish and even brought an invertebrate (octopus)!  He talked about the various parts We were given the opportunity to touch and feel the octopus.
