This last week in May we will make fish prints at art. The children will have a chance to choose the colors they would like to paint their fish and see how those colors blend when made into a print. We will have a fishing pool set out in the blocks area with a ‘dock’ to stand on to catch fish. A fun activity at home is to ‘catch’ goldfish crackers with humus ‘bait’ on the end of a long, fat pretzel ‘fishing pole’. You can use anything long like a pretzel, celery, or carrot to be your pole and any thick bait like humus, cream cheese, or a nut butter to catch anything you like that is small (like a fishy cracker, cut in half olives, cheerios, etc.). It is a fun way to eat a snack!
Bears Class and Owls Class will have their Pajama Nights on Tuesday (Bears) and Wednesday (Owls) – 6– 7:30pm. Bring cut up fruit for the fruit bowl. Pancakes will be made.
Songs:
Fish in the Sea
There are so many fish in the deep blue sea. What color fish do you see?
5 Little Fishes
5 little fishes swimming near the shore
1 swam away and then there was 4
4 little fishes were swimming out to sea
One swam away and then there was 3
3 little fishes said now what should we do?
One swam away and then there were 2
2 little fishes we are having great fun
One swam away and then there was 1
1 little fish said I like the warm sun
She swam away and now there are none!
Fishes
Fish are swimming, fish are swimming,
In the sea, in the sea,
A-splishing and a-splashing,
A-splishing and a-splashing,
Look and see, look and see.
