Fishing, May 13th and 14th, 2009


Begin by singing Raffi’s Shake My Sillies Out.

Book: The Little Fish That Got Away by Bernadine Cook; illustrated by Crockett Johnson. We made shadow puppets which can be used on an overhead projector to tell the story along with the book.

Poem: Melinda Mae, from the Shel Silverstein book, Where the Sidewalk Ends. We made a picture on a piece of poster board which can be used to tell this poem.

Book: Ten Little Fish by Audrey Wood; illustrated by Bruce Wood.

Song: Baby Fish from the CD, Dr. Jean Sings Silly Songs.

Book: Five Silly Fishermen by Roberta Edwards; illustrated by Sylvie Wickstrom.

Fingerplay: Here is the Sea

Here is the sea, the wavy sea
(wave hands like a wave going by)
Here is my boat,
(cup hands like a boat)
And here is me.
(point to self)
All of the fishes
(wiggle your fingers)
Down below
(point downwards)
Wiggle their tails
(wiggle your fingers, while making a fish)
And away they go!
(wiggle your fingers behind your back)

Book: The Big Fish by Phyllis Root; illustrated by James Croft. We use paper cut-outs, which can be used on a magnetic chalkboard in place of the actual book.

Activity: Go fishing! We attached paper clips to some die-cut fish shapes. We then tied pieces of yarn to chopsticks and taped magnets to the other ends. These were our fishing poles. We had a big piece of blue butcher paper which we pretended was our river. It was a very fun activity!
