Giant Squids


Kindergarten students read the book, "I'm the Biggest Thing in the Ocean" by Kevin Sherry. They discussed the sizes of different ocean animals and found out that giant squids can grow to be as long as two school busses with eyes as big as soccer balls! They learned that squids are invertebrates, which means they don't have a backbone. While giant squids are very large, they are not the biggest thing in the ocean. Whales are the biggest thing in the ocean. Students painted their own giant squid with tempera paint.
