June 8 is World Oceans Day! I like the idea of focusing on a holiday or observance every now and then to add variety to a homeschool or classroom curriculum. The same idea works well in summer for a fun mini unit. So here are some World Ocean Day resources for you!

Nicely done blog and website Deb. I homeschooled my son (he’s now 35) and it would have been great to have this kind of resource at the time. Thank you for visiting my blog and following me. I’m following you back. Blessings, Nancy

i can’t seem to complete the order on the ‘parts of a turtle’ resource. i get to the order confirmation page each time, but no further 🙁
Hi, Kim! Sorry to hear that’s happening. It doesn’t look like the offer has expired. Here’s the link to Montessori Helper’s contact page: http://montessorihelper.com/contact-us/. You should be able to send a message there to find out the answer. I hope that works for you.
We’re going to be studying Night of the MoonJellies with Five in a Row – these ideas would be perfect!
Thanks for linking this great resource up with The Thoughtful Spot!
