About This Blog

This blog started out as a fun blog about different projects I did with my kids, then it turned into a homeschooling blog, now...it's kind of both. I love doing activities with my kids and making fun things for them to play with. I'm a huge fan of busy bag activities and I am a mild hoarder, as I feel the need to save EVERYTHING, just in case I find a fun activity that requires egg cartons or something. Also, I have a slight obsession with felt. I hope you enjoy this blog and maybe find some inspiration in the randomness of it all. :)

Under The Sea Part 2

The kids had a lot of fun starting our under the sea wall. They thought it was pretty cool when they added thier rainbow fish to the water. I discovered that Jacob likes sharks. (of course, he's such a boy. lol.) So I plan to focus a little more on sharks for part 2.

Here is our next lesson plan

Circle Time:

Five Little Fishies in the Sea
Five little fishes in the sea
teasing Mr. sharky
you can't catch me
you can't catch me
Well along came Mr. sharky (softly) as quiet as can be
He snapped! a fish up
right out of the sea.

Four little fishes in the sea
teasing Mr. sharky
you can't catch me
you can't catch me
Well along came Mr. sharky (softly) as quiet as can be
He snapped! a fish up
right out of the sea.

Three little fishes in the sea
teasing Mr. sharky
you can't catch me
you can't catch me
Well along came Mr. sharky (softly) as quiet as can be
He snapped! a fish up
right out of the sea.

Two little fishes in the sea
teasing Mr. sharky
you can't catch me
you can't catch me
Well along came Mr. sharky (softly) as quiet as can be
He snapped! a fish up
right out of the sea

One little fishy in the sea
teasing Mr. sharky
you can't catch me
you can't catch me
Well along came Mr. sharky (softly) as quiet as can be
He snapped! that fish up
right out of the sea
Now Mr. sharky is lonely can't you see. .

Think and Do:

Sea shell counting activity from Tuesday. The kids did really well with this. And this is an area that needs working on for Jacob.

Read some facts about sharks and look at pictures of different kinds of sharks.
