The Tide Rolls Out On Ocean Week!

We had our second amazing week learning and listening to things related to the ocean!  We once again talked about ocean life and ocean facts.  I know many in our school are headed off to the beach for this Spring Break week so hopefully things learned in class will come alive for those lucky enough to visit the ocean!
