Ocean Institute visits school

The Ocean Institute's Adopt-a-Class visited the Boys & Girls Clubs of Laguna Beach earlier this month, bringing a mobile aquarium and a book reading.

After listening to Ocean Institute staff read "A House for Hermit Crab" by Eric Carle, the kids were taught to compare live organisms with the creatures in the book.

The visits were underwritten by the Hearts of Montage.
