Summer Reading Club Bulletin Board

Make a Splash: Read!



Ocean Friends

First summer storytime! Always an interesting mix of regular patrons and lots of people there for the very first time. Our library's summer reading program theme is "Make a Splash: READ!" So, all of this summer's storytimes will be based on this theme. First up: Ocean Friends. I'm trying very hard to incorporate sensory and play items after learning all about it at ALA this spring. Here is what we read:















The flannel board story "The Hat" and flannel board rhyme "Five Little Ocean Friends" were used.











We also made a moved along with egg shakers, made a jellyfish craft and played with an ocean sensory item. The sensory idea came from this blog: http://homeschoolhighplains.blogspot.com/2012/11/o-is-for-ocean-and-octopus.html

Fabulous Fish

There are so many great books about fish and the ocean for kids that it was hard to decide, but for this storytime I went with:

The Pout-Pout Fish in the Big-Big Dark by Deborah Diesen
Rainbow Fish Finds His Way by Marcus Pfister
Way Down Deep in the Deep Blue Sea by Jan Peck
Hooray For Fish!  by Lucy Cousins

We used two flannel boards tonight: Fish With a Deep Sea Smile and Slippery Fish. We finished storytime with a craft: paper plate fish.
