Class Topic & Learning Activity

This month we will be discussing sponges. Class discussion will review types of sponges while incorporating visual aids and various specimens. Students will review specimens with microscopes and then for the learning activity enjoy a game called “Is that a Sponge?” where students will review specimens and differentiate between corals and sponges.

Water or Beach Activity

The beach activity includes walking along the beach and searching for sponges along the wrack line.

Please make sure that your child wears the appropriate clothing for our class. If your child does not have the appropriate attire (i.e. swimming suit, water shoes or snorkel gear) to complete the planned activity, unfortunately he or she will not be able to participate.
