"I Am A Fish" is a great activity to help your child
use her natural creativity. As
you help her create the picture which allows her to
practice the skills of using
glue, crayons, and markers, talk about all the
different things she might find in
the sea. While she draws them, print their names on
a separate piece of
paper. When her picture is finished, read the names
together and let her point
to each item in her picture.
To reinforce her
curiosity make up a story about
her picture together and print it onto a large piece
of chart paper. Underline
the names you have printed on the first piece of
paper (these were the notes
she made for her story). Then have her match each
individual name with the
place it was used in her story. Talk about the
sentences using an upper case
letter for the first word in each sentence as well
as well as for the first letter in
each name as it appears in the sentence and periods
at the end of each
sentence.
Her own story written with her "notes" and
in simple sentences will
help her gain an understanding of simple sentence
structuring as well as how
books and stories are composed.
MATERIALS NEEDED:
Blue construction paper
Photo of your child's face
Glue
Sand
Brushes
Crayons or washable markers
Chart Paper
ACTIVITY STEPS:
1. Create a story about living and swimming at the
bottom of the sea.
2. Brush glue onto the blue paper. Sprinkle sand on
the paper and wait until
glue dries. Pour off the excess sand.
3. In one of the "unsandy" spaces, glue your child's
photo.
4. Using crayons or markers, draw a fish's tale and
body onto the photo. Cut
out the picture.
5. Write out the story on the chart paper, paste
your child's photo on the chart
paper above the story and draw more illustrations on
the chart paper to go
along with the story.
