Miss Kelly and Ms. Jaime's classes came together and read a fictional story about a fish who encounters water pollution.  Students used various ingredients to mock create the polluted water.  Students were  asked to recall details and retell details from the story.

Before the Activity
As a part of the monthly theme, we addressed citizenship.  We discussed how keeping the Earth clean and protecting the environment, is being a good citizen.  We also read the informational text from the ULS library "Oil Spills."  The students watched YouTube clips about the BP oil spill and cleanup.  After reading, students answered wh- questions and recalled details from the text.
