Each day students should complete the listed activities. After completing the activities, students will fill out this form and write down one thing they liked about the day, one thing they did not like about the day, and something they learned from the day. (Teachers can modify this worksheet based on student's level and require students to write more or less per section.)
To really engage students, each student will make his or her own "Ocean Guide." After completing a task or activity, students will receive an ocean stamp or sticker. With every task accomplished, the student will become one step closer to finding Nemo!
"Well hello there mates! I'm Nemo and I'm lost! I need YOUR help to find me! You must use your noggins (those are your brains) to find me! Can you help me out?"
