Dolphins and the Earth

This week, we've talked about dolphins because they are the topic of our weekly poem. We've also been studying the earth in Social Studies and have learned a lot about maps, continents, oceans, and where we live.
With your group, write a comment that tells us an interesting fact you learned about dolphins or the earth!
