In Mrs. Link's third grade class we studied about whales during library time and in our classroom. Then, working in groups we all participated in different whale themed activities. Below are some samples of our work. We enjoyed learning about whales and looking at all the other wonderful projects on the whale tales website.

Over summer vacation I went whale watching out in Montauk, Long Island with my family. This is what I saw, heard, flet, touched and tasted.I saw whales, a blue whale and a right whale. I heard waves crashing against the boat. I felt rocking from side to side. I even got to touch a blue whale! I also tasted the sea water when the waves crashed so hard the water went in to the boat. That is what I did when I went whale watching.

I have learned that some whales are endangered. Also there are serious threats to the North Atlantic Right Whales by the ship’s fishing gear. It’s distinctive characteristics include a strongly bowed jaw, absence of a dorsal fin, and squared off, paddle-like flippers.
