Head, Shoulders, Knees, and Toes Pajama Story Time, 2/27/13
Only one of the regulars - a little girl - showed up to this story time, but we were joined by another family - a preschooler girl and a toddler boy - after the third book. They were a quiet bunch, and they seemed to like the songs better than the stories, but it's hard to know for sure, since they didn't really interact very much.
Book: I am a Backhoe by Anna Grossnickle Hines
Book: We've All Got Bellybuttons by David Martin
This book got some nice giggles, but the little girl didn't feel like doing the movements. Her dad did them with me anyway, though! He is always a great participant.
Song: Moon Moon Moon
This is the little girl's favorite song, and she sang all the words with me the second time through. (This is why I always repeat things - not only do the kids learn it better, but the kids who already know it need time to get warmed up.)
Book: Growing Like Me by Anne Rockwell
When I was weeding our 500s I found this poor neglected book. I decided to keep it and start using it at story time
Song: Head and Shoulders
Song: Sing a Happy Song
Book: The Greatest Gymnast of All by Stuart J. Murphy
This is a book about opposites - over and under, in and out, up and down.
Song: Twinkle Twinkle Little Star
Song: Five in the Bed
Song: The Wheels on the Bus
Song: Goodnight
Song: If You're Happy and You Know It
I use the same hello and goodbye songs at almost every session. Click here for the tunes and words. For descriptions of each of my story times, click here.
