Paco had great time learning about marine life this week! It was his first visit to such a big indoor aquarium and he loved every square inch of it. There were a lot of fish. Some colorful and big, some small and almost translucent. Paco learned a lot about the different areas where ocean animals live and what they eat. Have you ever been to an aquarium? It’s almost like you’re in the water with the fish. When Paco saw the shark he was happy to have the glass between them, that's for sure. Sharks are so cool, but always keep your distance and respect their space! You know what Paco likes to sing when he sees or hears about sharks? I bet you can guess… just click below to sing along with Pink Fong! Now with a little help from your math skills and a few crayons or colored pencils, you can create a tiny little aquarium full of color for yourself. Be sure to check your math before you start to color. Enjoy!
