Ocean Animal Invertebrates

I finally finished by first unit!!! It is focused on common core writing standard W.1.2 for first grade.  It also has elements of science and art.  The unit is about three ocean animal invertebrates: squid, jellyfish, and the octopus.  Included for each animal is a nonfiction reader, parts of a (squid) diagram, graphic organizer, 2 writing planners, 2 options for writing paper, and a super cute art project!  LOTS of reproducibles.

 I made this anchor chart to go along with this unit.  There is a reproducible graphic organizer llike this included for each animal.

Anyone heard of the Come With Me Science Series by Pat Perea?  It's an oldie but a goodie!  It has some adorable science songs that I teach my students every year and it goes perfectly with my ocean invertebrates unit. I made this anchor chart for the squid song.  Students love it!
