Inky the Octopus by Erin Guendelsberger (Kindergarten Read Aloud)
MISO: I just saw something scary with 8 legs
MINGSI: Don't worry, it was only an octopus 🐙The only scary things with 8 legs would be those 2 naughty cats, George and Purrcy.
Hi boys and girls! Did you know an octopus has 3 hearts and 9 brains? It has one central brain and each arm has "a mind of its own." Octopuses are very good at escaping through small openings. This is a true story about an octopus named Inky. He lived in the National Aquarium of New Zealand. One night, the lid of his tank was left slightly open and he squeezed through the opening. He slithered across the floor and squeezed through an even smaller opening - a 6 inch drain hole, and made it out to sea. I hope Inky is enjoying his new life in the ocean, don't you? There is a very famous song about an octopus called Octopus's Garden by Ringo Starr. Check out the video of the song showing some cool underwater footage of octopuses in the ocean:
Let's read the story of Inky the Octopus together, and then if you feel like working on an Inky colouring sheet, you can!

In honour of Inky's 8 legs, why don't you try to read at least 8 stories this week. Think you're up to the challenge? I sure do!
Love, Mrs. Porter
