Have each child bring an empty water bottle to the classroom. Read One Small Place by the Sea by Barbara Brenner. Talk about things that you find in the sea and how the water in the sea moves from one place to another. Assist the children in creating their own seascape by providing materials such as sand, small sea shells, water, blue food coloring and small plastic sea creatures. When combined, the materials should take up 3/4 of the bottle. The idea is to turn the bottle on its side to resemble a tide pool, just like in the book.
