Snorkel With Mrs. Yollis!

As the summer winds down here in the northern hemisphere, I wanted to share one more animal post from my fantastic trip to Hawaii. Snorkeling along the coral reef was a daily activity for me. I got to meet beautiful tropical fish like this bird wrasse and the state fish of Hawaii, the humuhumunukunukuapua'a!  

If you've never had a chance to snorkel, come and glimpse the beauty with me!

This year, the class will be studying animal habitats. The ocean is the largest habitat in the world. 

Here is my video post Moray Eels!

Have you ever snorkeled?

Which fish did you enjoy finding?

Did you notice any color adaptations?

(False eyes? Camouflage? Advertising coloration?)

Animal Research!

Mrs. Yollis' class is finishing up a reading unit called 
Animal Habitats.

We read Nights of the Pufflings. It was about some children in Iceland who rescue pufflings.

 

Another story called, Seal Surfer, was about a boy and his grandfather who befriend a mother seal and her pup.

 

Our final story, Two Days in May,  is about an urban community that must solve a wildlife problem.

Use Mrs. Yollis' Website or the Online World Book Encyclopedia 

to research information about animals.
