Fishing, June 16th and 17th, 2010
Begin by singing Raffi’s Shake Your Sillies Out.
Book: The Little Fish That Got Away by Bernadine Cook.
Poem: Melinda Mae by Shel Silverstein from Where the Sidewalk Ends.
Book: Ten Little Fish by Audrey Wood.
Song: Baby Fish from Dr. Jean Sings Silly Songs
Book: Five Silly Fisherman by Roberta Edwards
Book: The Big Fish by Phyllis Root, illustrated by James Croft. (We use magnetic cut-outs that go along with the story).
Song: Swimming at the Bottom of the Ocean from Sea, Beach, and Summer Stuff by Geof Johnson.
Puppet Show: We created a puppet show based on Mo Willems' book My Friend is Sad but we used two awesome puppet fish instead of Elephant and Piggie.
Activity: Fishing. We made some cute fishing poles using a chopstick, a piece of string and a magnet. Basically, tape a piece of string (approx. 1 foot long) to the end of the chopstick. Then tape a magnet to the other end of the string. Then, we cut out die cut fish shapes and put a paper clip on the nose of each fish. The magnet on the fishing pole will stick to the paper clip on the fish. For a river we laid down a long piece of blue butcher paper and had children stand on both sides. We scattered the fish over the paper “water” and then let the kids go fishing. They loved it!
