Dolphins! Dolphins ahead! On our way back to the Smithsonian Environmental Research Center main building (Edgewater, Maryland), we all saw bottlenose dolphins and asked the captain to stop the boat. What a treat! These mammals are so acrobatic. An entire pod was swimming happily in the Chesapeake Bay: https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=VjMn_dVCJyA<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Science<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This week, we learned about life in the Chesapeake Bay. We studied about birds (seagull, pelican), crustaceans (crab, horseshoe crab, hermit crab), fish (flounder, blue fish, Ray, Clownfish) and dolphins. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s review with your child which one lays egg.
On a piece of paper or your child\u2019s journal, divide a page into 2 columns: (1) lays eggs and (2) has babies. Help your child to decide which one goes in which column. All birds, crabs and fish lay eggs and only dolphins have babies!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After viewing the book, help your child to tell you about his\/her favorite part and explain why.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is also an underlying theme in her book about best friends. As your child what it means. Have a friend or best friend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
