This Years Theme...

Underwater Exploration: Solving the Mysteries of the Deep
Bodies of water make up most of our planet, yet humans have only explored a small portion of our lakes, rivers and oceans. We’ll travel around the world and deep into the water to discover how biomes, animal relationships and resources impact our lives. We’ll start at the Coral Reefs to learn about mutualism and how animals and environments help each other. Then we’ll discover how organisms pass energy through food chains and how symbiotic relationships keep different species alive, protected and fed throughout the oceans. As we continue to uncover the mysteries of the deep, we’ll travel around our planet to explore other biomes and finish with a ook at what the moon has to do with our bodies of water on the Earth.
By the end we’ll be splishing and splashing with our fearless teachers and empowered to stand up and say “You Can Count on Me” to all of our fellow humans, aquatic creatures and home
planet!
