4th Grade Dive to the Coral Reefs week of May 4

I'm sure you have been learning lots about the ocean. 🌊 Maybe you have even been to the Georgia Aquarium in Atlanta to see some amazing ocean animals, 🐬🐳 but what do you know about coral and coral reefs at the BOTTOM of the ocean?  When we return to school, maybe you would like to check out some non-fiction books about oceans and coral reefs, like the one in this video, Dive to the Coral Reefs, by Elizabeth Tayntor, Paul Erickson, and Les Koffman.  Did you know that coral only grows in warm tropical waters, like the water off Key West, Florida?  Would you like to scuba dive with LaVar Burton and a friend called the Coral Doctor who transplants coral to areas where the coral has been damaged or destroyed?  Well, put on your scuba gear and jump into the Reading Rainbow video here:
