"WHAT IS LOVE"

Hey friend!

Shark week starts today, July 6, so let's celebrate with some shark projects you can do this week.

๐Ÿฆˆ Feed the Shark Gameโ€‹
This one is always a hit! Kids โ€œfeedโ€ the shark while practicing letters, letter sounds, or counting. Works for centers, morning tubs, or early finishers.

Short nonfiction passages with built-in questionsโ€”perfect for sub plans, small groups, or that tricky 15-minute filler.
