Sea Creatures Galore!

Today I was happy to be able to accompany Bubba on a Field Trip to the Gatlinburg Aquarium. We had an enjoyable time looking at all of the different creatures. The kids also were able to attend the Mr. Potato Fish class that is presented by the staff of the Aquarium. During this they learned about the body types of fish, different fins and their uses, coloring, where do they live, attributes that contribute to their survival, etc. After learning these different facts about fish, they split into groups and created their own fish with a potato and different "parts." They also thought up names, where they live, etc. (based on all they had learned earlier). The best was one that a group of fifth grade girls created. When the lady leading the class asked the spokesgirl what their fish ate she replied boys and it had a bad attitude as an attribute!
