Storytime!



Today's storytime was the last day for the Perry School HIPPY group. We read two stories about underwater life - "Mister Seahorse" by Eric Carle and "Fish is Fish" by Leo Lionni.

"Fish is Fish" is a story about a young fish whose friend, formerly a tadpole and now a frog, has gone off on wild adventures away from the water. When he hears about all the amazing things that Frog has seen, Fish can't resist trying to get out to see it for himself. In the end, he learns to accept himself for what he is - a fish!

"Mister Seahorse" follows an expectant Seahorse Father around the sea, where he meets a wide assortment of other creatures waiting for their own children to be born (and carrying them around in the most interesting ways.

After all that, we finished the day with a National Geographic special all about (you guessed it), the ocean!

Finally, we cooled off to the breezy sound of Raeggae before the kids headed back out to the Perry School Community Center. We can't wait to see them again next year.

Best of luck in school!
