Who Said Coo?

Published by Beach Lane Book, read with permission

Parent Tip

This book is full on rhyming words--coo, whoo, moo, Lulu, two and you. Reading books with rhyming words is a great way to develop phonological awareness--the ability to hear the smaller parts of words.  Research has shown that child who can rhyme have an easier time learning how to read.

Nursery Rhyme

(magnet board using clipart purchased from Etsy)

Wee Willie Winkie runs through the town

Upstairs and downstairs in his nightgown

Rapping at the windows, crying at the locks

Are your children all in bed for now it's eight o'clock!

Song

Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star

Beach Day!

ABC Welcome

Movement

Let's pretend we are going to the beach!

Walk in parking lot.

    I can walk on two feet, on two feet, on two feet

    I can walk on two feet, all day long.

Rund when we get to the sand

    I can run on two feet, on two feet, on two feet

    I can walk on two feet, all day long.

Sand gets in your shoes!  Take them off!  Oh, but the sand is HOT!

    I can hop on one foot, on one foot, on one foot

    I can hop on one foot, all day long.

Get to the water and jump in!

    I can jump on two feet, on two feet, on two feet

    I can jump on two feet, all day long.

Song

At the Beach, At the Beach

(tune: Are you sleeping?)

Put your hat on, put your hat on

Sunscreen too, sunscreen too

Run down to the water, run down to the water

It's cool and blue, cool and blue.

Get your buckets, get your shovels

Come let's dig, come let's dis

We will build a castle, we will build a castle

Tall and big, tall and big.

Throw a beach ball, catch a beach ball

With a friend, with a friend

Be careful as the wind blows, you never know where it will go

Down the beach, down the beach.

Book

Monkey Ono

by J.C. Phillipps

published by Viking, read with permission

Parent Tip

Monkey Ono wrote and drew about the plans he made.  Parents, when your child sees you write you are teaching print awareness, an understanding that print has meaning.  Show your child what you are writing and read what it says.  Together you could make a list of things you will do.  This encourages your child to begin to explore putting pencil or crayong to paper--one of the first steps to writing!

Three Little Sandcastles

We are 3 little sandcastles sitting on the beach

Watching the boats go by

3 little sandcastles sitting on the beach

Watching the seagulls fly

3 little sandcastles sitting on the beach

Watching the clouds so high

When along came a wave and washed one away

And this is what the other ones said...

Continue with two and one

End: And now they've got nothing to say.

I love baby animals!

(cubs--bear, lion, tiger)

(calves--cow, elephant, walrus)

Parent Tip

Having a rich vocabulary will help your child become a life-long learner.  Vocabulary is developed when adultes share words with children in context and talk about words--as we did with baby animal names.  The more words we introduce and talk about with our children the more prepared they will be to read.
