A Fish Out of Water

Last Wednesday's class at the Tenderloin was the first time I had more English than Spanish speakers sitting around for my story time. I read "A Fish out of Water" by Helen Palmer - and the kids were captivated to see what would happen next, even my Spanish speakers sat still and listened. I enjoy being able to read two books in these classes. Our Spanish selection was "Barquito de Papel" by Jorge Luján. The sponge shape craft turned out better than my own samples as families cut out orange fish shapes from the sponges I provided and played with them in the water. It wasn't until I read the book that I realized how the sponge fish coincided with the story. It worked out very well.
