Beach Fun Storytime 6/4/19 and 6/5/19

Book read:
Beach Day by Karen Roosa

Other book suggestions: 
Sandy Feet, Whose Feet? by Susan Wood
Penguin on vacation by Salina Yoon 

On our way to the beach (modified from Storytimes and More, to the tune of "Here we go round the Mulberry Bush")
Here we go marching down the road, down the road,
Here we go marching down the road, on our way to the beach today!
Additional verses can include: running, tiptoeing, stomping, flying, etc.  

Waves at the Beach (to the tune of "Wheels on the Bus") (from Preschool Education)
The waves at the beach go up and down, up and down, (move up and down)
The waves at the beach go up and down, all day long.

Other verses:
The crabs at the beach crawl back and forth, (crawl)
The lobsters at the beach go snap, snap, snap, (clap hands together)
The jellyfish at the beach go wibble, wobble wobble, (sway back and forth)

One little fish (with bubbles, from Jbrary)
One little fish,
Swimming in the water,
Swimming in the water,
Swimming in the water,
Bubble, bubble, bubble,
Pop, pop, pop!

Sand Castle (from Pasadena Library)
Sand Castle at the beach, (hands over head)
I built you big and strong,
A wave washed up on the sand,
Whoosh! You were gone. (swing arms)

Craft: We decorated a seahorse template with torn paper.

Literacy tip of the week: Ask your child what they see in the pictures as you read together. It is a great way to promote conversation about the story.
