“Splish Splash! Squish Squash!
Is it “splish splash” or “squish squash”? The third and fourth grade summer readers can certainly tell you!
The kids created underwater sand dioramas, painted colorful sun-catcher ‘flip-flop’ picture frames (girls) and ‘fish’ thermometers (boys). They also made individual tropical island snacks (pudding cup with cookie crumb sand and decorated with a shark, fish and beach umbrella).
After enjoying their snack and juice, we played a game of “Splish, Splash or Squish Squash.” For example, if Miss Jean said, “A bathtub of water!” They would move their hands and arms like you were splashing. If she said, “A bowl full of Jello”; they would stomp their feet (squish squash). Starting out slowly and going faster made the kids really have to be on their toes or hands which ever the case might be! How many things can you think of that are ‘splish splash’ or’ squish squash’? The last twenty minutes of the afternoon we played BEACH Bingo and everyone won a sack of goodies to take home.
Our summer reading program is almost over. On July 14th “Froggy” will come to entertain all summer readers at the United Methodist Church. And our ‘Make a Splash Summer’s End Party’ is at the swimming pool on Saturday, July 24th from 10 to 11:30 a.m. This party is for the kids (1st through 8th grade) who have been enrolled in this years’ summer reading program.
