Pacific and "Atsicic" Oceans

Today we read this book that we found at the Library:

We also looked at our Atlas and talked about how water covers most of the earth.  Specifically, we looked at the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans that surround North America.  Then, to help us remember the location and names of the oceans around our continent, we used our watercolors to paint the water:

 The names of these oceans have twisted up our tongues, though.  Atlantic Ocean tends to come out as "Atsicic Ocean"- I guess it is a cross between Pacific and Atlantic.  We will keep practicing!

Here are Karis and Malachi's  finished paintings:
