La Dolce Vita
• Tuesday, December 5, 2006 - The Great White Shark
It has been pathetically long since I last updated this blog. It has been tremendously busy around here. We are doing well. We have been quite busy with schooling, which has been moving along at a nice clip. In particular, science has been especially fun this year. I partnered with a good friend, and we have done science together. We are using My World Science, the Oceans. We capped off our unit with a trip to the Monterey Bay Aquarium.
We (especially my boy), were thrilled to see a Great White Shark in captivity. It is very unusual to see a Great White-they don't tend to survive very long if caught. This one, however, seems to be doing very well. You can learn more about this shark here. We happened to go to the aquarium on a homeschool day, so there were all kinds of wonderful activities set up, both around the aquarium and in a conference room. The kids had such a great time that they never asked for a snack...AMAZING!
If you have a chance, please visit the aquarium, either online or in real life. There are many wonderful activities online, as well as webcams of many exhibits. You can even view the Outer Bay exhibit on a webcam, which is where the Great White is living.
