We are wrapping up another awesome SHARK 🦈 WEEK! We learned a TON about SO many different types of sharks this week. I’m truly impressed with their spongelike memories and how they grabbed hold of so many facts and features of these amazing animals. We made shark art, did shark research projects, played with shark toys, read shark books, and we even made a life size β€œDeep Blue” shark that the children painted (really well I might add). Hard to believe she is 20 feet long!!! Ask your children what they learned about sharks that intrigued them the most! ❀️ Pre-K
