Jellyfish

Today our ocean animal of choice was the jellyfish.  We learned that a jellyfish is an invertebrate.  Jellyfish have dangerous stingers.  Some fish swim alongside jellyfish as a way to protect themselves from predators.  At one center the children made a jellyfish of their own.

At the second center the children made a puppet of their favorite animal from the song "Slippery Fish."  We used the puppets to act out the song, as well as make a graph of our favorite ocean animal.  At the third center the children used fish to measure the length of various ocean animals.
