It's Raining, It's Pouring Drop-In Story Time, 3/15/13
Book: Rainy Day by Patricia Lakin
This book is long, but it rhymes and has a lot of repetition, so I decided to read it at the very beginning of story time. I was surprised by how well it went over, and the cozy library ending inspired me to change my next song from a rainy day song to a book song!
Song: These Are My Glasses
Book: Rabbits and Raindrops by Jim Arnosky
I have had mixed results with this book in the past, but this time, I helped keep everyone focused by having us count the baby rabbits on several of the pages. It worked like a charm. I had everyone's attention all the way until the end!
Rhyme: Hop Your Bunnies
There was an awesome grandpa in the audience who got really into this rhyme.
Song: Mr. Sun
Song: You Are My Sunshine
Letter of the Day: K
- Song: Cuddly Koalas
- Rhyme: Two Little Kittens
I forgot my kitten puppets in the closet downstairs, so we just used our hands. Everyone participated, and the adults all said the rhyme along with me. - I intended, as the image above shows, to sing I'm a Little Red Kite, but I forgot the words and just decided to skip it.
Song: Hands Up High
Song: The Wheels on the Bus
Song: Chickadee
Song: If You're Happy and You Know It
We did so much singing at this story time. A grandmother stopped me afterwards and said, "We must have done your whole repertoire. That was great!" I seem to be popular with grandmas, which makes me happy.
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.
