Read Aloud: 

Sunny Days

The sun was shining so bright,

having beaten the clouds in fight.

We wanted to go out for fun,

I wish the clouds could beat the sun.

Evening came and the sun went down,

We all went for a walk in the town.

Water was flowing down the stream,

While I was licking my ice cream.

The stars shone brightly in the sky,

they finally showed all their might

*Stallone Tested and Approved: This was an AWESOME activity! Stallone loved fishing for fish then counting all the fish he had collected! We must of through the fish back in the water at least five times for him to fish all over again. We even got creative by giving the certain colored fish names, like Trout, Salmon, Red Snapper etc. Having him name the colors of the fish as he caught them was also implemented. Looking forward to fishing in the future again!!

Materials Needed
