The Ocean Alphabet Book


This alphabet book focuses on the Atlantic Ocean. Each letter except for A and Z focuses on a fish that lives in the North Atlantic Ocean. I am taking my class on a field trip to the New York Aquarium, so the concentration of this book is exciting. The illustrations are amazing and detailed, yet interesting for a first grade student. The text is used to describe each fish illustrated. I am using this book to highlight the ocean in the area where my students live as a piece of the ocean unit I am teaching.
