Song: If You'd Like to Read a Book
I really like this book because it introduces the names of dinosaurs in the simplest and most straight-forward way I have seen in a picture book. It's hard to tell sometimes what this group thinks about a book, since they have been so well-trained to sit silently during story time, but they seemed to enjoy the anticipation of waiting to see what was behind the various flaps.
This was one of my favorites to share over the summer, and I don't think it's very well-known these days, so I thought it would be a good one to introduce to this group. I think I read it really well, but there wasn't much interaction on the part of the class, even when prompted, so it's hard to know what they thought.
Song: Rum Sum Sum
I tried to get a little call and response going, but they were a tad too young to understand how it worked. Their teacher helped them say, "I can do it!" though, and they did a great job of acting out the different animals' actions.
Song: The Wheels on the Bus (a cappella)
I have been wanting to read this to preschoolers for months, and finally thought of it at a time when it was checked in! This was the favorite of this session - kids love dogs!
