Spawning Salmon

This is the mural we created together during our Literacy Morning:
 What can you see? 
It's on display at the Boys and Girls Club for everyone to enjoy.



Today we continued with our salmon theme.  The children worked on their pre-writing skills by drawing eggs and connecting each egg with the flowing river.  We also made spawning beds with shells and rocks - children practiced letter names and sounds with this fun puppet game. 


As always our Story Lady Donna shared 3 more stories and this week we were SOOOOO lucky to taste some real salmon!  


Our Literacy Drop In morning is every Wednesday on 20 Fifth St. from 8:45~12:00. 

Story circle starts at 9:45.  

Everyone is welcome!

Early Literacy Morning

Our drop-in literacy morning has started up again every Wednesday morning - everyone is welcome!  This week we set up some fun alphabet activities for the children to explore with a focus on the SSSSS sound.


Keeping with our motto... 

"Three stories a day, that's the way!"  

...Donna shared 3 salmon stories.

We also learned a new song:

Down at the river when the leaves turn red,
there were 5 adult salmon in the spawing bed,
along came bear all alone,
and he caught one fish,
and he took it home.
