We were in a great big sperm whale!

Today our scientists learned about whales, dolphins and sea life of Oman. Our first guest speaker, Mr.  Montoya, is an art teacher, and also a great sea life adventurer. He loves kayaking, boating and swimming in the ocean. Earlier last week, he shared two video clips with us that documented his encounters with sperm whales and false killer whales while he was out kayaking in the ocean. The children were fascinated by what he did. Mr. Montoya talked more about his encounters with the whales in his presentation today. He answered questions about whales and his adventures, as well as shared a whale skull that he found on a beach one time. Later, Mr. Montoya also drew a whale (approximately in real life size) using chalk on the playground outside to show the kids how big real sperm whale is. The kids all jumped inside the whale's body and realized that a sperm whale is enormous-  just its tail can fit 60 kids!
Thank you Mr. Montoya for sharing your expertise with us today. We learned a lot from you.
