Fun with FROGS and FISH

Although we didn't talk too much about frogs this past week, we did have fun making up a story on Monday about Frank the Frog who loved to Fish! I started the story by saying, "once upon a time, there was a frog named Frank and he loved to fish. One day on his way to the pond he ran into a big..." then the child sitting next to me would start where I left off. All the kids had a turn to add something to our story as we went around the circle. It was really fun to hear the different silly things the kids would say, they were very creative. :)
On Wednesday we practiced naming our shapes. As items were pulled from a bag, the kids would tell me what shapes they were. Paper plate (circle), a block (rectangle), a rag (square)...etc.
 We really had a good time playing a matching shape game. The kids each wore a shape necklace and had to look around to find their matching shapes which were hidden somewhere in the room. The kids also worked on their cutting skills as they cut out the different fish shapes and glued them on the right shape.
For 'Fun Friday' we read the story "The Rainbow Fish." The kids had a great time making their very own rainbow fish. They loved cutting and crumbling the tissue paper to stuff inside it!

The kids also really enjoyed fishing for matching fish! :)  

And what better snack to have on fish day than Fish! We had tuna and fish crackers! :)

One more week with our ocean theme and then we will be moving on to our weather and seasons theme.
