Shark- Sh sh sh sound

Since I work at the YMCA in the mini care we sometimes to little fun lesson crafts! :) We did this cute shark thing so Selah decided our letter this week should be "S" and also since her name starts with the letter "S." We are also working on the "sh" sound since we are doing shark but also we will do "S". We should have a few more "S" things to share later this week. :)

For this activity we read "Five Little Sharks Swimming in the Sea" and we already had these 5 cute sharks so I handed them out to my little helpers. The book has some fun motions that the kids could use their shark and act out.

Before we read the story we sang the song "Slippery Fish." Here are the lyrics:

(make a fish with hands together)Slippery fish, slippery fish swimming in the water

Slippery fish, slippery fish,

Gulp, Gulp, Gulp

It was eaten by a...

(move hands around like you have 8 tentacles)Octopus, Octopus, swimming in the water

Octopus, Octopus,

Gulp, Gulp, Gulp

It was eaten by a...

(move hands side to side)Tuna Fish, tuna fish swimming in the water

Tuna fish, tuna fish,

Gulp, Gulp, Gulp

It was eaten by a...

(put hand on forehead like a shark fin) Great White Shark, Great White Shark swimming in the water

Great white shark, great white shark

Gulp, Gulp, Gulp

It was eaten by a...

(push hands up over head like water spouting out of a whale) Humongous Whale, Humongous whale swimming in the water

Humongous whale, humongous whale

Gulp, Gulp, Gulp

It was eaten by a...BURP!

To make this shark all you need is an envelope. Lick the envelope closed, cut one end across so your hand can be the puppet and then cut a triangle and use the triangle for the fin. Allow them to glue on the fin, color, draw an eye, teeth, and gills. :) Then allow them to act out the story or just be a shark. :)

"The Reading Game" Review and Giveaway

Description: The first book in The Reading Game learn-to-read series tells the story of a skunk without a stripe who is rejected by the other skunks but finds acceptance among some cats and becomes their defender. It’s told in rhyme, is beautifully illustrated, and is 32 pages long. It will be the first book the student reads, and there are five more to follow in this groundbreaking learn to read program. Each of The Reading Game's six stories is told using just thirty new words. These are broken down into six sets of five words. The student learns to read each set of five words by playing a simple word matching game. Frequent exposure through play hard wires these words into long-term memory. Rote learning is transformed into a fast-paced game with a winner every few seconds. After completing Skunk, Game 1, the student has learned five words (can, cat, is, me, not). Playing Game 2 adds an additional five words (sad, she, stay, this, with). The s

Dry Idea: Deodorant Review and Giveaway

I know most of you know I was at kids camp last week and I think I mentioned the humidity and heat that we had that week! I was daring as I only brought my new Dry Idea deodorant that I had never used prior. I had no idea if it was going to keep me from smelling like B.O or if I was going to have sweaty pits. So how did the Dry Idea hold up to the hot and humid days at kids camp??? Arms raised high during worship in the morning and in the evening! :) I was dry and I did not stink! :) WOOT WOOT! I had the unscented brand and I usually do prefer a pretty scent but it worked and they do have scents which include powder fresh and cotton dry that I might try in the future. :) The Dry Idea Roll-On is 24 hour protection, fast drying MicroCotton Formula, hypo allergenic, and contains Vitamin E. :) Don't like roll on's?? They do offer Clear Gel and an Invisible Solid. :) Dry Idea provided a free sample of their Advanced Dry roll-On so I could review them. However,
