My Visit to the Aquarium

This is a link to my free lesson using these book on Read Write Think, a site by IRA (International Reading Association) and NCTE (National Council of Teachers of English): As Slippery as an Eel: An Ocean Unit Exploring Simile and Metaphor
April showers? No snow to play in! Not quite summer! This is a great time of year to visit a museum or an aquarium, and it is easier to go places now without the bundles of snowsuits and winter gear. While the getting around is easier but children need to be kept busy, check out some library books to accompany outings and make them a little more educational. These two books have captivating photos, can be read more than once, and are enjoyable. The Sea House is an exciting story that may seem exotic to children. Aliki’s aquarium book is full of excellent drawings of real ocean creatures.
