Here's how what we did for the past few days, working on our whales and dolphins theme.
Arts and Crafts
I printed out a pattern of killer whale and humpback whale from LearnCreateLove.com for us to paint. We could out the different parts and had my son assemble it and add some decors on it.
Parts of a Whale
For the parts of a whale, we used our nomenclature card and booklet.
I also have a dolphin nomenclature and booklet set if you are interested.
We love using these cards. My son loves to compare the parts of the whale to his body parts. And we love our Safari Toob figures too! They're so detailed that you can even see the blowholes on the figures :)
The printable comes with an activity sheet for little ones to color and write a label.
Books for reading
Most of these were from the library. I included a Tagalog book about whales because my son loves learning the Philippine's national language :)
Different kinds of whales and dolphins
One of the books has a detailed description of each animal so we used it to learn about the different kinds of whales and dolphins as well as our matching and fact cards.
How deep do they dive?
I came across this wonderful site and downloaded their Teacher's Guide on Whales (for Kindergarten). The document is a haven of information on whales and dolphins and it got lots of activities for you and your kids to try. We did How Deep Do They Dive? pages 24-25 of the document.
We were able to differentiate which mammal dives deeper using the graph.
Whales and dolphins skip counting cards
And finally, you can also work on the skip counting with this cards! Just click on the picture below for the link.
And that's it for our whales and dolphins! Hope this would help you in case you will try this unit.
