Learn Greatness with Ocean books! (Cont.)

 In our next activity we were able to incorporate some language learning into our craft activity.  As we read each of the books, we discussed how each title used an adjective to describe the animal.  Here are the books we used:

   

        

After enjoying all of these books we created our own book cover!

 We talked about ocean animals that we could use as well as adjectives to describe our ocean animals.  This was an enjoyable way to introduce adjectives!

Fiction/Non-Fiction Sort

Throughout this learning adventure we read several non-fiction books that we chose from the public library.  After we completed all the activities we reviewed fiction and non-fiction by doing a sorting activity.  

I made a stack of all the books we read about the ocean.  I wrote Fiction on one side of the board and Non-Fiction on the other side of the board.  We discussed what each term meant.  Then I had my daughter look at each book and determine which pile to place the book.
