Montessori Resources for Learning About Fish

This is a video from our class back in 2009 when Trillium Montessori was still in my house. We had fun learning all about fish. The video starts off with one of my favorite fish songs, then shows clips of children working with our fish themed materials, and ends with us getting our hands dirty examining a fish from the grocery store!
