SEA Study
Paper
plate crab books hold information about sea animals
with shells. We created fish designs from pattern
blocks and graphed the blocks we used to create our
designs.
What are
these kids so "crabby" about?
They
wrote facts about sea animals that have shell
bodies inside these great books.
Students
added a Table of Contents to their nonfiction
books.

SEE our
Homophone SEA? We're fishing for homophones - words
that sound
alike
but have different spellings and
meanings.
Is that
a school of fish or a school of friends?
Both!
These
colorful fish books contain writing about what the
children have learned in school this
year.
