Sea Shells

 I collected sea shells during my trip to the beach.  

I brought back so many, the kids LOVED painting them.

 It was the perfect way to show "Big", "Medium", and "Small".

We also read the story "There Was an Old Woman Who Swallowed a Shell".

It's still raining!

In our area May and June has been a wash out. So much rain that the kids are going stir-crazy.  All this rain was a great way to learn about the weather.

SONGS

The Itsy Bitsy Spider

The itty bitty spider

climbed up the waterspout.

Down can the rain

and washed the spider out.

Out came the sun

and dried up all the rain

and the itty bitty spider 

went up the spout again.
