The Salish Sea and Me: A marine activity and learning book
“The Salish Sea & Me: A marine activity and learning book” is a teaching tool for use in the classroom or at home to help students understand their emotions while creating empathy for aquatic creatures around the world. The Seattle Aquarium developed this book to bring together empathy, conservation and social-emotional learning. The book’s content is designed for third–fifth graders but could be adapted to meet the needs of younger or older students.
Interested teachers can receive up to 40 printed copies of “The Salish Sea & Me: A marine activity and learning book” from the first run of printing. These will be mailed to your school free of charge. Available while supplies last.
