We love whales!
Here are a few of the books we’ve been using

“You must have turned on a light bulb with (my daughter) in your whale discussions. She can’t stop talking about them. (Her mom) took her to the library to get her whale books. We read one last night and after every sentence about whales that I read, she had a two or three sentence commentary.”

Best. Work. Ever. The whale picture card is wrapped with yarn that represents the actual length of the whale. There is an ID card that goes with each picture so you can get more information about each whale. This idea was inspired by Priority Montessori.
Here we are outside comparing the different lengths.
