Our September book of the month is called Fishy
Friends by Michael Patrick O’Neill. Fish have
many ways to stay safe in the ocean. Fish help each
other to survive in the ocean. They stick together
in groups called schools. Fish are able to hide in
their shells or in a bottle in the ocean.
Never drive a boat where the manatees swim. I
learned that from the book by Michael Patrick
O’Neill. If we stick together we can keep the ocean
clean.

This is
a Cool Book
By Trinity

Fishy Friends is the September book of the
month. This is a cool book of the month. It tells us
all about the things that live in the ocean.
It
just shocked me. People steal turtles’ eggs. It is
not cool to drive boats where manatees live. They’re
hurting manatees. It is important not to throw
litter into the oceans. They’re hurting other fish
that live in the ocean making the water green.
I
will not throw garbage in the water. NO THROWING
garbage in the water or else it will make the water
green. It’s hard for the manatees and fish to
breath. They will die.
