Welcome to Winter! Drop-In Story Time, 1/11/13
Book: Here Comes Jack Frost by Kazuno Kohara
Song: Ten Little Icicles
Book: A Den is a Bed for a Bear by Becky Baines
This was surprisingly the better received of the two books, possibly because of the rhyming text and photos. I am definitely going to see about incorporating more simple non-fiction into this story time.
Song: Goodnight
Since we read about a hibernating bear, we sang goodnight to a bear, and two other hibernating animals - a frog and a mouse.
Song: Bumpin’ Up and Down on my Little Blue Sled
Song: Five Little Snowmen Riding on the Sled
Song: Head and Shoulders
Letter of the Day: T
- Song: Trees Are Growing High
- Song: I'm a Little Teapot
- Song: Drive, Drive, Drive Your Truck
- Song: Tommy Thumb
Rhyme: This is Big, Big, Big
I realized by this point that we had been singing for almost 20 minutes straight, so I threw in some rhymes. It thrilled me to see some of our 18 month olds who have been coming to story time for about a year suddenly doing all the motions with me.
Rhyme: Blue is the Lake
I was amazed at how well everyone remembered this one, as it's been a few months. I'll have to put it back into the regular rotation now that it's back on my radar.
Song: Sing a Happy Song
This woke up all the grown-ups - they were much more into this song than usual today!
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.
