The octopus day

1. We started with our octopus videos with different versions of the slippery fish: With drawings and letters: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VTQZhPL3qtI&feature=related With a flannel board: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NfKexWw88m4&feature=related With a girl singing the song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dVM-UsBWK24&feature=related Finally with pre-k children singing the song at her graduation: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rkMJHY-mpq0&feature=related She really enjoyed this song and was quickly singing it. It was funny to see her at her playing solo time saying “oh no!”. 2. We started coloring an octopus (http://confessionsofahomeschooler.blogspot.com/2010/04/prek-letter-o.html ).

3. Then we sorted the octopus by size (http://confessionsofahomeschooler.blogspot.com/2010/04/prek-letter-o.html )

4. Finally, we punched our straws in the octopus box. I printed the lacing octopus, stuck it on a big box and punched holes. She had difficulty with the straws because they were easy to bend so I changed them for wood sticks. She did a great job!
