I used this to try to keep my 4th graders quiet while 3rd grade was testing. Students were engaged and enjoyed the packet. A few reminders to whisper and we were set.

I used this in my ocean unit rather than at the end of the year. Students found it fun and informational.

My kids have really enjoyed reading these passages. They are engaging and learning about events such as rip currents and how shells are formed which are not the usual topics when you think of ocean passages. Plus they are practicing written responses. I appreciate that they are on one sheet of paper and offer a digital version as well.
