We Love to Read! Baby Lap Time, 1/17/13
(The picture above shows a flannel board - We're Going Down to the Library - that I didn't end up using.)
Rhyme: Cheek Chin
Rhyme: Look at this Book
Song: If You’d Like to Read a Book
Book: It’s a Little Book by Lane Smith
Song: Tony Chestnut
Song: Head and Shoulders
Song: All the Little Babies
Poem: Letter Parade! from Good For You! by Stephanie Calmenson
I found some clip art of children wearing letters on their shirts and made my own book out of this rhyme. It didn't get a great reaction, but this was a reserved group of moms with babies on the younger side. (I can't share the book I made here because the clipart is copyrighted, but if you want to see a copy, leave a comment and I'll send it to you.)
Song: ABCs
Song: Twinkle Twinkle Little Star
Song: Where is Big Toe?
Rhyme: Hey Diddle Diddle
Song: The More We Read Together...
This session has made me rethink whether I want to do themed story times for the babies. I think I probably will for some of the easier ones, but I also need to revisit my older story time posts for this age and pull out the greatest hits, and just stick with those. This session was fine, and I received some lovely compliments, but I didn't feel that it was my best.
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.
Could you send me a copy of the book you made from the poem "Letter Parade!"? I enjoy your blog and look forward to seeing what you do next! Thank You! stewadi@hotmail.com
