Once we were done bean bag rockin', we read Fidgety Fish by Ruth Galloway. What child can't relate to a curious, fidgeting fish who likes adventure. This book has good flow with its wording and is a pleasure to read to a group.
We took our usual break with reading by going over some colors and counting using a "Sea Star Wish" rhyming flannel. Each in the group was able to bring up a flannel piece, which they absolutely love, and shared well too.
Next up was Ugly Fish by Kara LaReau and Scott Magoon. Ugly Fish, is well ugly. And to top it off, he doesn't like to share. This makes him uglier. Will this bully get what's coming to him in his fish tank? This is a slightly silly one that the group sure enjoyed.
Our next break was a five little fish flannel. We counted and went over the colors of each fish and how they were each different.
Our final story was my favorite, Hooray for Fish! by Lucy Cousins. She has a Hooray for Birds! book that I need to remember to use for a bird storytime.
For our craft, we continued with the cupcake liner theme and made a fish cupcake liner craft out of construction paper and cutting the liners to make fins. We were even able to practice our "w's" by making waves in the water.
