🌊🐠 Dive into our Deep Sea Adventure! 🐬📚 Our incredible second graders just wrapped up a 9-week research journey exploring the wonders of marine life! From octopus to sea turtles, each student dove into studying an ocean creature and created their very own informational book—complete with a Table of Contents, Glossary, About the Author page, and detailed sections on physical and behavioral traits, habitat, predators and prey, and environmental threats. 🐡📖 To bring their learning to life, we even took a field trip to the Boise Aquarium to discover even more about our aquatic friends. 🌊🐙 We are so proud of their hard work, curiosity, and creativity—these young marine biologists are making waves! 💙👏 #MarineLife #SecondGradeScientists #ProjectBasedLearning #BoiseAquariumAdventure #UnderTheSea
