Talking Points
- “The ocean is a big, blue place with many different animals and plants living in it.”
- “When we draw sea creatures, we can use many colors like blue, green, and yellow to make them bright and beautiful.”
- “In math, we can count how many fish we see and learn about numbers while having fun.”
- “When we pretend to be sea animals, we can move like a fish swimming or a crab walking sideways.”
- “In science, we will create a mini ocean to see how the Earth is mostly covered in water.”
