We absolutely love our book club. We started 2 weeks ago with "Down, Down, Down," a book from the Texas Blue Bonnet Award list. We read the book together at our meeting and learned tons about the ocean, especially about the zones. Then we made our very own oceans using what we learned: blue-food-colored honey representing the midnight zone, water for the twilight zone, and oil for the sunlight zone. Each child prepped their favorite creatures from each zone to tape on their ocean. Some of the boys completed their projects by adding lego submarines. Note: the kids love shaking the bottles and watching the ingredients settle out, but this doesn't work as well with the honey and water--they eventually combine and don't separate again.
