Five little fishy

On Friday we read the poem 'Five Little Fishy'

Five little fishy, swimming out to sea,
The first one said, "Oh, what can we see?"
The second one said, "I can see a tail."
The third one said, "It must be a whale!"
The fourth one said, "She's looking for lunch,"
The fifth one said, "She'll eat us in one munch!"
Five little fishy, swimming side by side, cried,
"Oh where, oh where, oh where, can we hide?
by Valerie SchifferDanoff

When we finished reading the poem we then drew fish and painted a background. Look at our pictures.
