Gracyn continued the unit on Oceans today. We reviewed the octopus facts we read on Thursday and read a book together called "Amazing Animals: The Octopus". She learned that a female octopus lays eggs only once in its life and when it does, it lays up to 100,000 eggs. We discussed how only about two of these eggs will make it to adulthood and the others will mainly become food for other animals. After the female lays the eggs, it goes off to die. She also learned that an octopus can regenerate its arms if it loses one and that some octopuses can be as small as an M&M and others can be up to 16 feet long. She drew a picture of an octopus and colored it, and then wrote three of the facts she learned on her paper. She also began watching a The Magic School Bus episode called Dive Deep.
