Our big book for the next few weeks is "Splash in the Ocean" by
Other books we are reading are:
"Fish Faces" by Norbert Wu
"Swimmy" by Leo Lioni
A song: "There's a Hole in the Middle of the Sea" Here is a YouTube video of it:
"The Seashore Noisy Book"
Here are some literacy centers I created for this book:
A sight word game. For some reason, Microsoft Word was being persnickety and would not let me make a title page. But I just turn the words over on the table and the kids take turns picking them. If they know them, they put them on their mat.
A rhyming match:
A phoneme segmentation activity:
A real word/nonsense word sort:
A beginning sound match:
Sight word bingo. These are harder Dolch words. I haven't had time to do the Harcourt words yet. Maybe this weekend.
That's all for now. Gotta go help my own baby with his homework before our spring program tonight :)
