*Letter / Sound / Keyword (Fundations letter ring)
*Sounding out CVC (consonant-vowel-consonant) words such as cat, hat, mat, log, dog, etc.

Sing a Song

Waves at the Beach
(Tune: "Wheels on the Bus")

The waves at the beach go up and down,
Up and down, up and down.
The waves at the beach go up and down,
All day long.

Try these verses:
What movements can you make with the song?
Crabs at the beach crawl back and forth
Lobsters at the beach go snap, snap, snap
Clams at the beach will open and shut

Watch!

Why Should You Wear Sunscreen?

Try This!

It is important to wear sunscreen all year long, but especially during the summer. Set up a simple experiment to find out how sunscreen counteracts the effects of the sun, from Sid the Science Kid!
