This story time came at the end of a very difficult week, on the most difficult day of that week, and I have to admit it was kind of a disaster. Three different kids asked the adults with them if they could leave. ("I don't like this." "This is for babies.") The books I chose that seemed so perfect when I pulled them from the shelves went over like lead balloons, and because I had a splitting headache, I didn't do as great a job with the songs as I could have. That said, three or four kids got really into with me and we managed to make it through the story time. I am also pleased to report that the following week, when it was not my turn to do this story time, lots of kids came and things went a lot more smoothly. When it's my turn again, I have no doubt it will improve greatly. In the meantime, here is my numbers-themed story time.
Rhyme: I Have Ten Fingers
Book: Mouse Count by Ellen Stoll Walsh
Flannel Board: The Doorbell Rang
This was very successful. I'll definitely use this one again.
Song: The Number March
I printed the document, put it on a music stand, and turned the pages as we sang.
Song: One Little Monster
