The students will learn vocabulary words related to the ocean echo system and sharks. The student will gain understanding on  the basic characteristics, diet and habitat of each of the four sharks.  The students will practice guided reading and comprehension strategies along with science related materials. 

I am passionate about nature and animals sciences.  I have lived in a coastal region for 12 years and have participated in numerous learning experiences through the North Carolina Aquarium system. I have presented a number of presentations on marine life to students from kindergarten through eighth grade in the public school setting.   Due to my 10+ years in the classroom, I feel comfortable and confident answering questions and leading discussions on sharks and other marine life. I love seeing students energy and enthusiasm for learning about animals and the ocean, and I look forward to sharing my knowledge and passion with them!
