LittleMan had to do a "report" for his kindergarten class. Basically, they had to pick a sea animal and do three facts and an illustration. Here are some things we learned:
Facts About the Leafy Sea Dragon
(this picture is from the Wikipedia page about the animal. The Internet never ceases to amaze me).
Habitat: The leafy sea dragon lives off the Western and Southern coasts of Australia.
Leafy Sea Dragons grow to about 14 to 18 inches.
They are related to the seahorse.
The leafy sea dragons have no teeth, and they eat very tiny shrimp-like creatures. They also have no stomach, so they have to eat constantly so they don’t starve.
Their eyes can look in different directions at the same time.
The leafy sea dragon picks a partner and stays with them their whole life.
I'll admit- even I learned a lot in this project. Since most of his class wanted to do their reports about seahorses, I tried to get LM to think beyond the most common animals. We played on Google and found some cool stuff.
Now go find yourself something weird and new to learn a tiny bit about today!
