This is a great resource. Please consider adding it to Look What We Did. I am sure that it would be a hit. -Savannah http://www.lookwhatwedid-homeschool.blogspot.com

This is another great unit study that I would love to see linked up on my Money Saving Monday Link Up.
Thanks, again, Stephanie!!! 😀
Fabulous list! My son is fascinated by sea life. It’s not top of my own list but I’m always looking for things to strew his way so your list is very helpful, thank you! We’re enjoying the BBC series Blue Planet on DVD (v cheap here in the UK, not sure about there?) which is AMAZING (my son is in heaven!). Lucinda
Thank you, Lula!!
We love Blue Planet, too!! And we have Planet Earth, too!!
