Craft: Fishbowl
Children were given a coloring sheet of an empty fishbowl to color.  They could then glue on fish cut from colored paper.

Literacy Extensions:
- Continue the I Spy game from I Spy on the Farm doing various other animals (i.e. zoo animals, forest animals, etc.)
- Sing some more movement songs that direct the kids how to move (i.e. Head Shoulders Knees and Toes, If You're Happy and You Know It, etc.)


Notes:
The children loved the story time this week.  The inclusion of two books that were songs was a big hit.  Also, the third book also included audience participation in the form of a guessing game.
