Calleigh's kindergarten class had an Oceanography unit this spring. During the unit, all of the kids were assigned an ocean animal for which to make a model and write a report. (side note - apparently California schools believe in projects. . .LOTS of projects. . .that are all very detailed and time consuming) Calleigh's assignment was to create a sea turtle model and write a research report about the sea turtle using facts she learned through books checked out from our library. Celeste helped us come up with a way to make the sea turtle out of a paper plate, paper bowl, and little paint. Thank you Celeste! Your pre-K teacher skills come in handy for these projects. We emptied our beach bucket and came up with enough "real sand" to glue to the bottom of the box. Calleigh cut wave after blue wave out of my scrapbook paper without any complaint. It was her idea to make seaweed and glue it to the sides for a more realistic look.
The actual writing of her report took some time. She was instructed to sound out the words herself and write them without any help. I think she did an awesome job!
She worked so hard on this project and was so proud of her end product, that I thought I would share her work with you all. The final result. . . .Calleigh's Sea Turtle!!
