= FISH   =

==== This Wiki Page is set up as a way to teach your children about the characteristics of fish. Please help your child explore the websites and check the books out at the library in order to teach them as much as possible on this topic! At the end of the unit about all the different categories of animals, your child will do a brief presentation on their favorite kind of fish that was discovered through these sources. I will continue to add sources and activities to explore on this topic. Also, I will start some discussions that is attached on this page under the tab "discussions", please make sure your child has a chance to add to these as well! ====
