Learning with the Octonauts

 

We don’t watch a ton of T.V. at our house……enough for sure, but not a ton. However there is one little show that my kids discovered and after previewing it…..I found that I kinda like it too.

The Octonauts are a crew of eight adorable animals who explore the ocean in search of adventure and fun! From their undersea "Octopod" base, the eight talented critters (including a valiant polar bear, daredevil kitten, and big-hearted penguin) are always ready to embark on new exciting missions. The show is actually very educational and teaches the kids a lot of underwater sea facts that qualify it as “educational” T.V. in my book 

So I beyond thrilled when Carisa released The Octonaunts Kindergarten Printables. This was the perfect way to start our summer learning!

We started by reading the names of each of the Octonaunts and matching them to their picture on the easel.

Then we decided which was our favorite and wrote a sentence about it.

Next, we cut out and assembled our early reader.

We also found the easy reader on the I-pad that went with our book.

We also practiced writing the names of each of the characters.

For Ava, I wrote the names in yellow and let her trace over my letters.

Finally, we worked on our money skills. The kids are learning the names of the coins and their values. We used this activity along with our money poems bags I made up for Zachariah. Each time, he finds a coin, we add it to his bag and recite the poem.
