S the snake slithers side to side across the sand. "S s s," it says as it slithers. A sailor on the shore warns the snake to put on sunburn to avoid being scorched. S the snake slithers to the shore.
Sand Art: It was fun to color our snake, listen to the S story and then practice our "s" sounds as we glued sand on the letter S.
Snacks and Stories: Inside we ate our snack while we listened to S stories about Safety like Officer Buckle and Gloria (Caldecott Medal Winner) by Peggy Rathmann and silly "S" stories Audrey Wood's Silly Sally. This made us laugh!
