Since I live in South West Florida, a unit on sea life is particularly meaningful to my students and there are many opportunities to extend with real life experiences.
We have a field trip to Mote Marine Aquarium planned in March. I took my class on this particular field trip about 4 or 5 years ago. This year we are going to participate in the lesson about sea turtles and will actually get to make squid "popsicles" and then feed the turtles in the aquarium.
Of course, we also support this unit with many classroom experiences. I have found a few new resources to share:
Fern Goes for a Dive (free, animated read aloud story)
Fern Goes to Hawaii (free, animated read aloud story)
Mermaid Lullaby
Seashore Tap and Type
You can find other Sea life resources that I have gathered at this post, this post, this post and this post.

Hi Michelle, thanks for linking to my online children's book library today. I see you have resource links on the right of your blog, would you mind adding one to my site? If you can, can you title it Children Stories and have it link to our home page? Let me know your thoughts.
Did you also see our teacher program with the free personalized books with Earth Day?
