I love that little yellow gobi - it looks so vivid it could almost be plastic! I like the way some of you recreated that picture with your rusty cans! We have been finding out a bit more about the Atlantic in 'A Room with a View' as we follow four rowers on their challenge to cross the Atlantic Ocean from Tenerife to Barbados. Our oceans are incredible habitats. We love using our atlases and our class globe to discover where places are - but I would love one of those mega-maps that you have used even more! WOW! You are a very lucky class to have such experiences!<br />Mrs MMrs Monaghanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00580874869403316436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2633466533683944100.post-37152381790589958892012-01-29T23:59:33.844-08:002012-01-29T23:59:33.844-08:00Dear Mrs Yollis and class,

Talk about magical for I really felt like I was under the ocean swimming with some of those sea animal.<br /><br />My husband does a lot of scuba diving and often he would say it is like a magical sea of colour and sea animals which we need to learn to respect.<br /><br />I loved all your beautiful ocean watercolours which you all did.<br /><br />This is a wonderful post seeing animals in their own environment with such depth in each and every photo.<br /><br />Thank you.<br /><br />From your pal down under,<br />AAAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2633466533683944100.post-87771437245844182252012-01-29T18:52:21.949-08:002012-01-29T18:52:21.949-08:00Mrs. Yollis and class,

We are a group of third graders in Arizona that have been learning about different habitats. We started with our habitat-the Sonoran Desert. Do you know any facts about the Sonoran Desert? You can visit our blog to find out more about our "green" desert. We will soon begin learning about other habitats around the world. It will be great to see this blog post again when we learn about oceans. Thanks for sharing your ocean habitat.<br /><br />Fellow bloggers,<br />Mrs. Fraher and ClassMrs. Fraher's Classhttp://blogs.goaj.org/gfrahernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2633466533683944100.post-74956225333849897212012-01-29T17:35:34.619-08:002012-01-29T17:35:34.619-08:00Aloha Mrs. Yollis and third graders,
What a wonder...Aloha Mrs. Yollis and third graders,<br />What a wonderful opportunity! You are so lucky to be able to learn about animal habitats in such a special way. Brian Skerry's photograph is simply beautiful and the hermit crab is my favorite. He seems to be looking right at you.<br />There is a saying "a picture is worth a thousand words." Mr. Skerry's photography and your art work bring many thoughts to mind about these wonderful creatures in their habitat.<br />A hui hou,<br />Mrs. JacobsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2633466533683944100.post-82156765231861655822012-01-29T16:56:57.438-08:002012-01-29T16:56:57.438-08:00Hello Mrs. Yollis and class,
Considering about tw...Hello Mrs. Yollis and class,<br /><br />Considering about two thirds of the Earth's surface is covered by seas and oceans, the marine habitats are very important to all of us. People have been tot he top of the highest peaks but the greatest depths of the ocean are still unexplored.<br /><br />Can you imagine how many animal and plant species are still to discovered? <br /><br />Brian Skerry's photos are truly amazing glimpses into the known marine world. My favourite photo is of the manatee. Here we have dugong, very similar animals. Their lives are spent gently grazing sea grasses. I also enjoyed the suggestion they may have been what early sailors saw when they claimed they had seen mermaids in the sea. I think those sailors must have been at sea too long but the manatee and dugong are beautiful animals none the less.<br /><br />Learn from photography? We may get the best cameras and lighting, visit the most beautiful places but it can take a keen eye and chance to find the best shot for a photo. Take the yellow goby photo. Many would have passed the can in the water without noticing but the keen eye saw the fish inside and a beautiful photo resulted.<br /><br />Your watercolour paintings are brilliant. What better media to use than watercolours for marine scenes. :)<br /><br />@RossMannell<br />Teacher, NSW, Australiarmannellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10325881715643049499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2633466533683944100.post-69301892611278208952012-01-29T14:35:47.230-08:002012-01-29T14:35:47.230-08:00Dear Mrs. Yollis,

There is so much expression in every single image.<br />Thank you for sharing!<br /><br />I have been intensely jealous of Kelly to be able to go on such an amazing field trip and this post made it even worse ;0)<br /><br />@ Mrs. Yollis class: Great job with the water color pictures!<br />The video is so beautiful and serene, that I had to watch it twice.<br /><br />I am grateful that our children had the opportunity to participate in such a special event.<br /><br />Warm Regards,<br /><br />Hennyhennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09242206910378669963noreply@blogger.com
