The cool ocean breeze, the wind in your hair and the sun on your skin…I just LOVE the ocean. I had the opportunity to teach Kindergarten on an island in the South Pacific for a year. While it was an incredibly challenging year for me, I was blessed to be in one of the most beautiful places on earth. The scuba diving was rated one of the top 10 most beautiful dives in the world! I had always loved the ocean before that, but now that I’ve been able to swim with dolphins, sharks, colorful fish and amazing corral…I’m hooked!
I couldn’t help but create an Ocean/Beach Theme that I hope will help you and your students really “dive” into learning this next year! This ocean theme is jam packed with everything you need to set up your classroom from calendar time to your job chart. The best part??? It has EDITABLE pages in Adobe Reader! So you can type what you’d like, using the same fonts and backgrounds that are in the unit!
Here’s a preview of what’s inside:
